Training approach

Dog trainer training a dog to stand on its hind legs.

My training approach strives to foster a deep connection between dogs and their owners, creating a true partnership.

I help dog owners build clear communication and confidence with their dogs—whether you’re just starting out with a newly adopted puppy or working through ongoing behavioral challenges. From foundational home skills like crate and potty training to addressing reactivity, boosting confidence in new environments, and teaching reliable obedience, I’m here to support your dog training journey.

I aim to understand the unique relationship between you and your dog, how you communicate, and what your overall goals are. Each training journey is personalized, but the foundation remains the same: building value in the handler, clear communication, and mental and physical fulfillment.

I am dedicated to being with you every step of the way. My door is always open for questions and guidance, and I’m committed to helping you and your dog succeed together.
