I’m a certified dog trainer, adventure enthusiast, and steadfast believer in the power of positive training. For me, training isn’t just about teaching skills. It’s about building a partnership that makes life with your dog more joyful, less stressful, and full of possibility.

I believe that dogs and their people thrive when their relationship is built on understanding, cooperation, and trust. My approach is rooted in the idea that training should feel good for both ends of the leash, and that real progress comes when we nurture connection, not control.

Using science-backed, force-free methods, I help humans learn how to communicate clearly with their dogs, meet their emotional and physical needs, and shape behaviors that last in the real world. Whether you’re facing frustrating challenges at home, working on leash skills in the neighborhood, or dreaming of adventures out on the trail, I’ll guide you with empathy, patience, and practical support. Together, we’ll create a foundation of trust that makes every experience — from daily walks to big adventures — something you can enjoy side by side.
