Put the fun back in dog training!

I’m a professional dog trainer, sport handler, and the founder of the VIBE Method: Validate, Interact, Build, Engage. I’ve been training dogs of every path, from beloved pets to high-drive sport and service dogs since 2018. My passion is helping teams rediscover the fun in obedience, the joy in structure, and the magic in connection. I bring heart, humor, and a little cosmic energy to every session. My approach focuses on communication, confidence, and trust, turning training into a journey both dog and human can enjoy. Train with connection. Grow through play. Find your VIBE.

What to expect

Consultation

Every journey begins with a first step — and the evaluation is ours. Think of it as a meet and greet. This session is where I meet you and your dog as you are, listen to your story, and start building a roadmap forward. We’ll talk about your goals, your dog’s strengths, and what obstacles might be in your way. Through the VIBE Method, we’ll start rebuilding understanding, trust, and joy in your communication. By the end, you’ll know exactly how we’ll walk this path together, one pawprint at a time

Sessions

Typically in your home

Each Soul Path session blends structure, play, and connection. Using the VIBE Method : Validate, Interact, Build, Engage, we focus on clear communication, confidence, and teamwork. Every lesson is tailored to your dog’s unique needs, keeping training fun, rewarding, and full of heart.

7 years experience
Positive Reinforcement

My approach combines the science of LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) with the heart of my VIBE Method :Validate, Interact, Build, Engage. Together, they create a balanced system built on communication, respect, and relationship. Each session focuses on reading your dog, meeting them where they are, and guiding them toward confidence and clarity through positive reinforcement, play, and teamwork. I don’t just train dogs, I teach humans how to train, connect, and truly understand their companions.
