Training your dog shouldn't be a battle of wills that ends with your dog forced to behave—or else! Rather, it should be a mutual learning experience built on cooperation, understanding, and choice. Imagine your dog responding to your cues, behaving politely in the home, and paying attention to you out in the world—not because he has to, but because he wants to.

Start strong with early training that builds confidence, trust, and everyday skills. From socialization to potty training and gentle manners, I help you and your puppy grow together with clarity and connection.

For dogs (and humans) who love the trail, the campsite, or the open road. These sessions focus on recall, leash skills, trail manners, and reliable behaviors that help you explore with more freedom and less stress, wherever the path leads.

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.
