My goal in working with every dog is to encourage appropriate behavior and open new lines of communication with humans. I practice least-invasive handling, meaning that I focus on encouraging the behaviors that you like, and setting up the situation to avoid the ones you don't. My services are influenced by extensive formal education in dog health and behavior from Bergin University of Canine Studies, and I dedicate a substantial amount of my free time to increasing my knowledge. I treat every dog I work with with the patience and love owed to any individual, complex being. I have a substantial amount of dog handling experience ranging across many sizes, breeds, and personality types, including dogs with certain behavioral challenges. I am comfortable handling dogs with behavioral challenges.
