An honor's graduate of Animal Behavior College, a certified professional dog trainer, a certified Nose Work instructor and a Fear Free Certified Professional who has worked under the direction of board certified veterinary behaviorist, I have been working with dogs for more than 20 years, both professionally and as a volunteer. As a trainer, my goal is that you and your dog learn how to become a more confident team through a relationship built on mutual trust and understanding.
