Building bonds through kindness

For the past five years and over hundred hours in, I’ve also volunteered with Pet Partners as a certified therapy animal handler, bringing comfort and connection to those in need. When I'm not helping families with their dogs, I'm deeply involved in canine sports, where I continue to grow my skills and celebrate the incredible potential of our four-legged partners. Every step of my journey is guided by compassion, ethics, and a deep respect for the animals I work with.

What to expect

Consultation

Every successful training journey starts with connection. I offer a complimentary 30-minute meet-and-greet if you are in the Durham area, to get to know you and your dog. This relaxed session allows us to: Discuss your dog’s behavior, personality, and needs Learn about your training goals Answer any initial questions you may have This meeting ensures we're a good fit.

Sessions

Typically in your home

After the meet-and-greet, we’ll schedule a training session. This is where the real work begins—in the most positive way. During this session, I will: Observe your dog’s behavior in a low-pressure environment Take a detailed history of your dog’s routines, environment, and past training Identify root causes behind any challenges Provide immediate, actionable recommendations Begin foundation training exercises (if appropriate) Create a customized training plan tailored to your lifestyle, your goals, and your dog’s learning style
