in the typical cliché "I've loved animals my whole life". Rescuing, rehabbing and researching since I could walk and talk. always wanting to put the animals needs above all else. As I grew up, the dogs I was raised with were trained with a much heavier hand then I ever agreed with. But once i joined the Equine (horse) industry i began questioning even more nd found the positive reinforcement community after leaving horses behind due the the aversive and heavy handed "leadership" methods I was being taught..
After joining the industry in a number of ways between training in a corporate setting, grooming salons, daycares etc, my biggest struggle was the push to train in a large group setting to develop multiple dogs at a single time in these settings. many times watching either the dogs struggle and or their guardians battle with comparison, s
After joining the industry in a number of ways between training in a corporate setting, grooming salons, daycares etc, my biggest struggle was the push to train in a large group setting to develop multiple dogs at a single time in these settings. many times watching either the dogs struggle and or their guardians battle with comparison, scheduling and the environment in general.

This broke my heart yet again and i made the difficult decision to take on a day job while still offering private lessons, but in whi
After 4 years doing private lessons full time, the economy changed and I listened to the decision making of those in my inbox deciding if they can afford the lessons while making sure "the lights stay on". This broke my heart yet again and i made the difficult decision to take on a day job while still offering private lessons, but in which prevents the wildly flexible schedule i got used to offering. but with a main "bill payer" job im able to offer my classes at a lower rate then the years previous and again help those that need it at the time they need it most!
I service a 30 mile radius from my home office. Please note, if you are outside of this radius, I can still offer virtual lessons or meet ups (within the radius) for your lessons! homes, parks, and pet friendly stores are all bookable.
