I am a long time lover of dogs. I've grown up around them, and I currently have three myself. In the last 5 years, after owning and fostering many reactive dogs and assisting to help them- I fell IN LOVE with working with dogs on a serious level. I am currently studying to become a dog trainer and am passionate about helping pet parents achieve the relationship and life they dream of with their companions. I subscribe to the principals outlined by the IAABC for professional trainers and positive reinforcement is my bread and butter. When you book a service (whether that be dog walking, or drop ins) I will discuss with you any behavioral or training goals you might have and weave that into my time with your dogs. I will take the time with you to discuss how your dog is progressing and provide feedback on any behavioral issues after a training session. I will also show you techniques and simple things you can do to improve your relationship with your canine companion! As a handler I am involved in a number of dog sports. My dogs are currently involved in agility, nosework, and herding.
