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.

Founder & Head Trainer
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.

With a lifelong connection to animals, I bring a deep understanding and appreciation for the unique bond between humans and their furry friends. Growing up surrounded by dogs and horses from a young age, I developed a strong foundation in animal communication, which has shaped my approach as a dog trainer. My training philosophy focuses on fostering mutual trust and respect, not only helping dogs thrive but empowering families to create a harmonious home. Through compassionate guidance and effective techniques, I aim to support both pets and their owners on a journey to lasting understanding and connection. Let me help you build a deeper and more fulfilling relationship with your dog.

My passion for animal welfare began early, leading me to a career as a zookeeper, where I had the incredible opportunity to work with creatures ranging from the smallest, most delicate species to some of the world’s most formidable predators. This hands-on experience cultivated a deep appreciation for the beauty and complexity of wildlife, shaping my commitment to advocating for animals everywhere. Running multiple charities and organizations dedicated to their well-being has always been a vital part of my journey. Today, that mission extends to ensuring dogs live balanced and fulfilling lives through thoughtful training and care, so they—and their families—can thrive together.
