Information Merriam B. would like to know about your pet

Having over 25 years of experience in an animal hospital as a Registered Vet Tech, gives me the opportunity to be able to assess pets in a lot of different ways.

A typical day

I like to stick to the daily activities that you would normally do with your pets and ideally around the same times as well, so they don't get too stressed or feel like its too much change for them.

Dog Trainer & Registered Vet Tech!

Pet care experience

With over 25 years as a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) and extensive experience in professional dog training, I bring a unique blend of medical knowledge and behavior expertise to every session. I specialize in humane reward based training and behavior modification, creating personalized training plans tailored to each dog’s breed, life stage, and temperament. Whether it’s puppy foundations, fine-tuning manners, or addressing behavior challenges, I love coaching pet owners virtually to achieve lasting results. My approachable style and deep understanding of canine behavior help build strong, positive bonds between dogs and their families. Training should be effective, supportive and fun!! I’m passionate about helping both pets and their people succeed, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.
