Family Dog Mediator (FDM)
Certified Dog Behavior Consultant (CDBC)
Pro Member APDT
I am a reward-based trainer located in Las Vegas and Henderson, Nevada.
I believe that education holds the key to nurturing and strengthening the bonds between dogs and humans. As responsible owners, it's our duty to train and manage our furry companions with kindness and respect, building partnerships based on trust and cooperation, not fear. I teach a straightforward method that allows quick mastery—a technique adaptable to teach your dog anything you desire in the future, setting both you and your furry friend up for success from the get-go.
My journey in this field began when I took the first national dog trainer's certification exam by the CCPDT in 2001, earning my CPDT-Knowledge Assessed. Additionally, I'm a Professional Member of the APDT and was recognized as a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant by the IAABC in 2005. Over time, I've invested in my education, completing an online course in Applied Behavior Analysis from Utah State University with Dr. Susan Friedman in 2013, and an intensive instructor's course for reactive and fearful dogs with Grisha Stewart on Behavior Adjustment Training.
In 2015, I dedicated three months to an intensive course, earning my certification in working with Separation and Isolation Distress in dogs, becoming a CSAT - Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer. Each certification and course has equipped me with valuable tools and insights to better understand and help our canine companions thrive in various situations.
Please contact and book me on Petworks. Thank You.
