I’m a certified dog and cat trainer through Animal Behavior College, proudly serving Lake Elsinore and the surrounding Southern California areas. I specialize in positive reinforcement training for both dogs and cats, with a focus on behavior modification, fear-free handling, and building strong, lasting bonds between pets and their people. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from San Diego State University. I am a Fear Free Certified Professional, an AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Evaluator, and a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT). These credentials support my commitment to using only science-based, humane, and effective training methods. Through my business, Furry Tail Training: For Dogs and Cats, I offer private training sessions, behavior consultations, and Pet First Aid & CPR classes in partnership with local shelters. Whether you’re addressing dog reactivity, cat aggression, basic manners, or want to deepen your bond with your pet, I’m here to help with compassionate, results-driven support.
