Bridging gaps for dogs and humans
I bring together hands-on experience as a pet sitter and dog walker with formal training education. Because I work with dogs in real homes and real situations, I focus on solutions that actually fit into daily life. I don’t rely on quick fixes or rigid methods. Instead, I help guardians understand their dog’s behavior and build skills that hold up outside of a training session. I find what works best for you and your dog in your home.

What to expect
Consultation
During the initial consultation, we’ll discuss your dog’s history, current behaviors, and training goals. I’ll observe your dog in their environment, assess body language and responses, and identify contributing factors. You’ll receive clear recommendations, management strategies, and a customized training plan outlining next steps and session frequency
Sessions
Sessions are hands on and built around your dog’s needs and your real life routines. We’ll focus on practical exercises using reward based methods and clear communication. I encourage guardians to participate, ask questions, and practice between sessions so things feel consistent. Between sessions, I’ll offer guidance to help support progress and troubleshoot as needed.
More info
I’m a force-free, reward-based trainer who cares deeply about how dogs actually experience the world. I study dog body language and behavior in depth, and I work to help bridge the communication gap between you and your dog. My focus is on emotional wellbeing, clear expectations, and practical skills that make life easier at home and out in the world.

Availability
I’m usually most available on weekends, which tends to work well for dog parents who want to be involved in sessions. I also offer limited weekday availability on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If you’re unsure whether a time will work, feel free to reach out and ask. I utilize Google Cal for keeping my schedule tidy.
