Brief Bio (include professional interests, hobbies, etc.):
I have always loved dogs!
There is nothing I enjoy more than helping dogs and their people build strong relationships. I find it to be an incredible experience to be a part of a dog’s life.
My practice covers a wide range of training and behavioral needs, regardless of the dog’s age and breed. Whether you need help with a new puppy or are looking for assistance with a behavioral issue, I can provide you with practical guidance and solutions that best fit you and your dog’s needs. I like the challenge of creating a plan that provides each dog and their people with helpful solutions to assist them in reaching their goals.
My Approach
My approach is simple: I train dogs the way I train my own dog. In particular, I believe in taking a kind and compassionate approach when training and modifying behavior, using positive reinforcement methods.
Positive reinforcement means rewarding your dog for doing the right thing, rather than inflicting physical force, intimidation, or fear tactics that weaken the relationship between the dog and owner.
I embrace this method of dog training because, more than anything else, we need to be our dog’s teacher and guide in life. Whether training or modifying behavior, our goal should be to teach, manage, and guide our dogs so that we can prevent and/or resolve issues. Teachers and guides do this by teaching skills and boundaries using clear and consistent training.
Training and living with your dog should be a fun and enjoyable experience that forges a strong relationship between the both of you. My methods are always holistic, gentle, compassionate, and fair to both the dog and their people.
