Full-Time Animal Wellness & Care
As a full-time professional trainer with 11 years in the pet care field, I bring both technical skill and real-world experience. I also have a background in pet herbalism and nutrition, allowing me to consider behavior, stress, and overall wellness together. My focus is on safe handling, clear guidance for owners, and results that last beyond the training sessions.

What to expect
Consultation
During the consultation, I take time to learn about your dog’s history, behavior, daily routine, and your specific concerns while observing their temperament and responses. We’ll discuss the general training approach and what the process may look like for your situation. This meeting helps ensure we’re a good fit for each other so you feel comfortable with me and I can confidently support your goals. It also establishes a baseline plan, allowing the first paid session to focus on training rather than spending time clarifying goals and expectations.
Sessions
During training sessions, I work hands-on with both you and your dog, demonstrating techniques and coaching you through them so you can confidently apply them on your own. Sessions are structured, practical, and tailored to your dog’s progress, with time for questions. After each session, you’ll receive personalized notes outlining what to practice, designed to fit into your normal routine so you don’t have to overhaul your schedule. This helps ensure consistency and steady progress between sessions.
More info
My training approach is science-based and focused on positive reinforcement. I prioritize clear communication, consistency, and building the dog’s confidence so they choose the right behaviors. Sessions are tailored to each dog’s temperament, motivation, and household goals, emphasizing practical skills owners can maintain long-term.
