Living with dogs is deeply rewarding — and at times, overwhelming. My role is to help bring understanding, calm, and confidence back into your relationship with your dog.

​

I’m a certified dog trainer and behavior consultant with nearly two decades of experience in animal welfare and behavior work. My approach centers on supporting both the dog and the guardian. Rather than focusing on stopping behavior, I help people understand why it’s happening and how to respond in ways that are practical, humane, and effective in real life.

​

What clients most often say stands out is my patience — with their dog and with them. I work without judgment, taking the time to listen, observe, and guide families step by step. My hope is that, both during our work together and beyond, families feel calmer, more confident, and more connected to their dog than they thought possible.

​

My work is hands-on and educational. I help dogs learn and think within their environment, while teaching guardians how to read behavior, make informed choices, and respond consistently so progress continues beyond our sessions.

I work with a wide range of challenges, including complex behavior issues and aggression cases, using ethical, evidence-based methods that prioritize trust, welfare, and long-term success.

​

At the heart of my work is this belief: when people understand their dogs — and feel supported in the process — both the dog and the person will succeed together, as one.
