With over five years of professional dog training experience, I am committed to helping dogs and their owners thrive. My journey to becoming a trusted dog trainer has been fueled by an insatiable curiosity about canine behavior and a deep love for these amazing animals. Beginning with countless hours of mentorships from a community of trainers and a Police K9 Trainer. Which led to me to start training hundreds of dogs.
To further my knowledge and expertise, I am a proud member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT), a leading organization dedicated to promoting positive reinforcement training methods. Additionally, I am currently enrolled in the Grisha Stewart Academy to obtain my Certified Behavior Adjustment Training Instructor (CBATI) and Certified Canine Professional Dog Trainer certification. These rigorous program will equip me with advanced tools and techniques to address complex behavioral challenges.
Beyond my formal training, I have the privilege of partnering with a local rescue to provide specialized care for dogs with insecurities and anxieties. This hands-on experience has deepened my understanding of canine psychology and allowed me to develop effective strategies for helping these special dogs overcome their challenges.
My goal is to create harmonious relationships between dogs and their owners through positive reinforcement, patience, and understanding. Let's embark on this journey together!

Hope is a high-energy, affectionate German Shepherd Husky mix with a heart of gold. She's always ready for an adventure, whether it's chasing a tennis ball or galloping alongside a horse. When she's not burning off energy, she loves to relax and show off her unique sleeping style on her back.
Koji is a one-of-a-kind Pitbull Great Pyrenees mix who stole our hearts in 2022. This big teddy bear is a playful goofball with a lazy side. He’s always eager for belly rubs, treats, and cuddles from his favorite humans. Rescuing Koji has been an incredible journey of learning and growth. He’s taught us so much about patience, understanding, and the power of positive reinforcement.
