About Me
I got my start at PetSmart, where I learned the fundamentals of dog behavior and training while working directly with customers and their pets. Over the years, I've pursued advanced certifications and hands-on experience to refine my skills and deepen my understanding of canine psychology. My approach is focused on minimally-aversive, positive-reinforcement techniques that prioritize the well-being and happiness of the dogs I work with, while also empowering their owners with the knowledge and tools they need to maintain progress long-term.

Positive reinforcement, relationship-building, clear criteria, and owner education — training that lasts.
