As a professional dog trainer, I've pursued rigorous education to provide the highest quality, science-backed training approaches. I'm a proud graduate of the Karen Pryor Academy comprehensive program and am currently working towards my KPA-CTP certification, which represents the gold standard in modern dog training and my C-BATI certification, a specialization in dog reactivity. I currently hold a certificate in Comprehensive Dog Training and Puppy Start Right programs from the Karen Pryor Academy.

My training philosophy is built on two core principles: force-free methods and consent-centered interactions. Utilizing the scientific foundations of B.F. Skinner's operant conditioning, I help dog owners shape desired behaviors through positive, respectful techniques. My specialty is personalized, one-on-one training - meeting you and your dog in the environments where you most want to see behavioral progress.

I look up to many innovative dog psychologists in the field, including Patricia McConnell PHD, Leslie McDevitt, Karen Pryor, Terry Richardson, and Grisha Stewart to name a few. My practice is guided by texts written by and seminars conducted by these behaviorists, and I urge any individual looking to improve their knowledge to read the books by these great trainers to improve their experience handling their animals.

Every dog is unique, and every training journey is a collaborative partnership. I'm committed to continuous learning and helping you build a stronger, more understanding relationship with your beloved pet.
