I came to dog training through years of hands-on work in veterinary medicine, where I saw firsthand how closely behavior, stress, and overall well-being are connected. As a former veterinary surgical technician, I learned that understanding the whole dog — not just the behavior — is what leads to real, lasting change. I’ve been passionate about dogs my whole life, and my time in vet med showed me how often dogs struggle simply because they aren’t understood. That experience is what led me into professional training, with a focus on client education and relationship building to help dogs feel safer, more confident, and more comfortable in their world. I especially love working with anxious dogs and building practical routines for their families. I have a soft spot for Sighthounds, Spaniels, and Great Danes. My training style is calm, patient, and tailored to each dog. There is never a dull moment in my home with a toddler, two cats, a ball python, and a Lab mix! I truly love my job, and the best part is watching dogs grow into confident, content companions.
