Compassionate CPDT-KA trainer
I first became interested in dog training when I (unknowingly) adopted a reactive dog. I learned everything I could through classes, research, and meeting other reactive dog owners. I definitely fumbled along the way! I found that rewards-based training methods were the most effective and I’ve since adopted and worked with other dogs with behavioral issues. In 2023, I started volunteering in obedience classes and shadowing other trainers at the MSPCA. In 2025 I began working as a trainer and earned my CCPDT certification

The most progress comes from building a solid relationship with our dogs with trust at its foundation. I will give you methods to incorporate into your daily lives that allow for progress. I used positive reinforcement based methods that are fear free.
