Owner of Breaking Boundaries K9
My training stands out because it’s rooted in building genuine relationships with dogs, not just teaching commands. I tailor every plan to the individual dog, focusing on trust, empathy, and positive reinforcement to support lasting behavioral change. By prioritizing the dog’s emotional well-being and communication style, I create a partnership that leads to more meaningful and effective results.

What to expect
Consultation
During your consultation, we'll review your dog's behavior, training goals, and recommendations for the number of sessions needed to achieve those goals. I will observe your dog in their home environment to better understand their personality, triggers, and communication style. This helps me create a personalized training plan that supports both your dog’s development and your relationship with them.
Sessions
Private, in-home training for clients who expect a higher standard of results. Each session is tailored to your dog, combining behavior assessment with hands-on coaching to build calm structure and reliable obedience. You’ll receive clear guidance and a plan to continue progress between sessions. My Board & Train program offers immersive, results-driven training with four daily sessions, structured exercise, and real-world application. With only a limited number of dogs accepted, each receives focused, individualized attention for lasting results.
More info
I focus on relationship-based training that emphasizes positive reinforcement, building trust, empathy, and clear communication. This approach helps me understand your dog as a whole—taking into account their personality, history, and unique needs—to create a training plan that truly fits them. I believe each dog is an individual, and a good trainer adapts their methods to best support that dog’s growth and well-being.
