I believe that dog ownership should be a pleasure, and that households with canine companions should be happy and harmonious for all family members – furry or otherwise! I am committed to helping families achieve and maintain this furever. I have always been passionate about animals, growing up I could always be found outside with our family dogs, or helping out on the local farms. I have over ten years work experience in a variety of animal related settings including rescues, rehoming shelters and wildlife sanctuaries. I have shared my life with dogs for over ten years and currently have an adorable German Shepherd and Chihuahua duo.
A little about me, I am a force free, science-based trainer. This means that I do not use fear, intimidation or pain to control dogs. I prefer to train dogs, and their owners, using kind, effective, and cruelty free methods, with lots of focus on encouraging good manners and empowering dogs to making good choices in life.
