Teaching Dogs. Coaching Humans.

I have a genuine curiosity about dog behavior and love learning what motivates each dog so I can tailor training to their unique personality. I also work in industrial design and user experience, where observation, problem-solving, and understanding behavior are at the core of my work. I bring that same mindset to training. I've been caring for dogs for more than three years and have two dogs of my own. My goal is to help you better understand your dog, strengthen your relationship, and make life together easier.

What to expect

Consultation

The consultation is typically part of our first training session, unless we decide to meet beforehand to make sure we're a good fit. During that first session, we'll discuss your goals, your dog's history, and any challenges you're experiencing. I'll observe your dog's behavior, answer your questions, and begin working on foundational skills. You'll leave with exercises to practice at home, and we'll build on those skills in future sessions.

Sessions

Typically in your home

Each session is hands-on and tailored to you and your dog's goals. We'll build new skills, practice in real-life situations, and adjust our approach based on your dog's progress. Between sessions, you'll have simple exercises to practice at home so your dog can build confidence and consistency. My goal is to help both you and your dog succeed together.

Positive Reinforcement

I believe great training is about more than teaching commands. It is about building clear communication between dogs and their people. My goal is to help dogs make better decisions while giving owners the confidence to communicate consistently and effectively. I use positive, reward-based training that is tailored to each dog's personality, age, and goals. My focus is on building practical, lasting skills that strengthen the bond between you and your dog and make life together easier.
