Raise a dog everyone will love!
Certified Dog Trainer. Lifelong Dog Mom. Passionate Pack Leader. With 30+ years of experience, I’ve worked with every type of dog personality—from energetic puppies to stubborn seniors. My journey began with my yellow lab, Harley, who became a certified Therapy Dog and Canine Good Citizen. I use positive reinforcement tailored to each dog’s unique personality, bringing empathy, real-world experience, and a deep love for dogs to every training session.
What to expect
Consultation
Every dog is unique—and so is every plan. Your Initial Consultation sets you up for success. I’ll learn what your dog knows, challenges you’ve faced, and how they’ve been trained. I’ll observe how your dog responds to people and find their "currency" to speed up learning. Together, we’ll create a customized plan to maximize your time and results. Bring a clicker (if you have one), treats/kibble, or a favorite toy. Training is a team effort—and we’ll build the foundation for a happy, well-behaved companion.
Sessions
Training isn’t just about your dog—it’s about teaching you how to confidently guide and communicate with them. I demonstrate positive reinforcement techniques (using treats, praise, or play) and coach you through hands-on practice. Each session includes tailored exercises and simple homework to build lasting habits. Consistent practice at home leads to real success, creating a well-mannered, happy dog for life!

Experience
🐾 My Training Philosophy: I use positive reinforcement to reward good behavior and build trust, not fear. Through treats, praise, toys, and clicker training, I make learning fun and effective. Dogs repeat behaviors that are rewarded—so positive training creates confident, eager learners and a strong bond with you. Kind, consistent training leads to better results, a happier dog, and a relationship built on trust.
