Deep Dog Connections
I chose to earn my dog training certification through GoodPup because it is a reward-based program grounded in the latest research. I believe a calm, clear, consistent and compassionate approach is the most effective way to teach dogs how to behave. Trust not fear is the foundation of any successful relationship with your pet. I’m here to support you with individualized techniques tailored to your goals, while helping you build confidence in how you approach training your dog. With your commitment, we will yield greater peace. I look forward to being your guide and trusted resource.

What to expect
Consultation
I offer a free virtual consultation where you will have the opportunity to show me your dog, tell me your specific training goals and ask me any questions. I will observe, listen, answer any questions, and let you know the best course of action. Should we decide to proceed, we will set up your first training session where I will guide the interaction with your dog. Each situation is unique and typically require multiple sessions to address and correct specific behaviors (the number of sessions depends directly on how much you and your pet would like to learn and your goals).
Sessions
In our first session (after the free consult), get set for some hands-on action! We will drive straight into training exercises tailored for your dog’s specific needs.

My approach to dog training is reward-based, non-force and grounded in calm, confident guidance. I am passionate about helping people build trust and better communication with their dogs by understanding how they think and learn. I focus on establishing strong foundations first and create a personalized plan to reach your specific goals. With consistency and commitment, the results are powerful — bringing more harmony, confidence, and connection to life with your dog.
