ABOUT ME
Since I was an infant learning to walk and talk, I've been obsessed with animals.​ My first words were literally "Puppy," and nothing has changed. Growing up around animals made it clear that my purpose is to provide clarity and understanding of our furry friends. Finding a special way to connect and communicate with animals gave me an advantage when working with dogs. I prioritize not only training the dog but also the family members; this is how the results become long-lasting.
​
Over the years, I gained experience working in all kinds of animal facilities and have found a passion for helping others find peace and harmony with their loving pets. With my knowledge and pure obsession, I have assembled my own natural method of working with dogs to get over small things like house manners all the way to more significant problems like reactivity and aggression. I make training fun and enjoyable for everyone. Let me help you garner a closer connection with your dog.

This method includes positive and negative reinforcement for wanted and unwanted behaviours. While there is a negative connotation to “negative reinforcement” in dog training, a small correction is necessary to communicate with your dog when they miss behave. I reward the dog when they give me behaviours that I want such as eye contact, impulse control, calmness, patience etc… and correct the dog for the behaviours that I don’t want like jumping up, reactivity, counter surfing etc.
I understand the natural instincts of each breed and acknowledge the importance of proper exercise both mentally and physically each dog requires in order to behave properly. While I teach the dogs the behaviours I want so that they know my expectations. It is important that we set them up for success by providing the best care and understanding high drive and working breed dogs need to be understood and catered to in order to succeed in a home environment.
