RVT & a Certified Dog Trainer 🐾
With over 26 years as a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) and extensive experience in professional dog training, I bring a unique blend of medical knowledge and behavior expertise to every session. I specialize in humane reward based training and behavior modification, creating personalized training plans tailored to each dogs breed, life stage, and temperament. I provide online only.

What to expect
Consultation
During consultations, I’ll gather your history, background info, and determine your priority and secondary goals to formulate a plan. Consults are 30 or 60 minutes, online only.
Sessions
Training is best started without the distractions of other pets, & having any other household distractions to a minimum. Also having toys, treats & dog food nearby, & possibly leash equipment on your pup or nearby depending on what we are working on that session. We will start Priority goals first, and then move into secondary goals, but can always review & discuss any new changes or behaviors, and plans can be modified or changed at any time if needed to help suit your goals. Sessions are 30 or 60 minutes, online only.
More info
Whether it’s puppy foundations, fine-tuning manners, or addressing behavior challenges, I love coaching pet owners to achieve lasting results. My approachable style and deep understanding of canine behavior help build strong, positive bonds between dogs and their families. Training should be effective, supportive and fun!! I’m passionate about helping both pets and their people succeed, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. I provide online only.
