CPDT-KA
I'm a Certified Professional Dog Trainer – Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA) with over 15 years of professional animal care experience, including 3 years of dog training in shelter, group, and private settings! I completed my internship with Our Companions Animal Sanctuary and Canine College working with family pets and special needs rescues, where I gained experience with dogs of varying breeds, ages, and behavioral needs. I'm committed to humane, evidence-based training methods that build strong relationships between pets and their people.

What to expect
Consultation
Our consultation is an opportunity to discuss your dog's history, temperament, and behavior, as well as your training goals. After our consult, I'll follow up with a recommended training plan tailored to the needs of you and your dog.
Sessions
My passion is helping pet parents build relationships with their dogs! During each session, I will describe and demo each training skill with your dog - then you'll have the opportunity to try it yourself. After each training session, you'll receive a follow-up summary of our session on so you can continue training with your dog at home. At the beginning of each subsequent session we'll checking in on the week's progress and discuss any questions that came up!
