With over 300 dogs trained and 197 five-star reviews, I am proud to be a top platinum pro on other platforms. My journey as a dog breeder, handler, puppy judge, and my work in dog rescue and placements have equipped me with the skills and empathy needed to prevent misunderstandings that often lead to shelter surrenders.
