Empower. Train. Thrive.
I work at a training facility in the city and have hands-on experience with all kinds of dogs — from shy and fearful pups to reactive, high-energy, and even shelter dogs. I love helping each dog feel more confident and teaching pet parents how to support them with positive, reward-based techniques that make learning fun and stress-free.

What to expect
Consultation
During a consultation, I like to start by getting to know you and your dog — what they’re great at, what you’d like help with, and what daily life looks like for you both. I’ll spend some time watching how your dog responds and offer easy, positive training techniques you can start using right away. You’ll walk away with practical tips, a better understanding of your pup, and a clear plan for moving forward together!
Sessions
Each session is designed to be fun, positive, and stress-free for you and your dog! We’ll start with a quick check-in, talk about what’s been going well, and then dive into focused training games and exercises. I’ll show you how to use positive reinforcement to build good habits and help your pup feel more confident. You’ll finish the session with clear takeaways and easy next steps to keep the progress going between visits.
More info
I use positive reinforcement–based methods that focus on building trust, communication, and confidence for both dogs and their humans. My goal is to empower pet parents with the skills, techniques, and understanding to continue progress at home. I believe training should strengthen your bond and make learning fun, rewarding, and confidence-boosting for your pup.

Availability
As I mentioned, I do work at a training facility and so my evenings are usually the best times. Fridays are pretty flexible and have availability in the mornings as well.
