Verified Member since Sep 2019 Verified checkmark

As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) and an approved evaluator for the American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen program, I am passionate about fostering strong and healthy relationships between pets and their owners. With extensive training in dog obedience, behavior modification, and therapy techniques, I utilize positive reinforcement methods to ensure that your puppy or adult dog receives the best training experience possible. My approach is all about building trust and confidence—never intimidation, fear, or punishment—so your furry friend can thrive in a supportive environment.

Whether you need help with basic commands, leash manners, or addressing more serious behavioral issues like anxiety or reactivity, I am here to help. I work with dogs of all sizes, from those under 20 lbs to the larger breeds over 80 lbs. I also offer convenient mobile services, bringing my expertise right to your doorstep, so you can train your pet in the comfort of your own home. Additionally, I provide online training sessions, making it easier for you to access quality training no matter where you are.

With my business licensed and insured, you can trust that you are receiving professional and reliable service. I have been proudly serving pet parents since March 2020, and I am dedicated to helping you and your dog achieve a harmonious relationship.
