I'm Bailey, a certified professional dog trainer (CPDT-KA) based in Indianapolis, IN specializing in fear-free, positive reinforcement training for dogs with anxiety, reactivity, and behavior challenges. My approach is different because I: Start With Deep UnderstandingI take time to thoroughly assess your dog's unique history and personality. What works for one dog may not work for another. Cookie-cutter training plans don't address complex behavior challenges. I need to understand your dog specifically before we can create real change. Design Practical, Sustainable SolutionsWith an engineering background, I approach behavior challenges systematically by analyzing the root cause, designing solutions that fit your real life (not some ideal scenario), and adjusting as we go to ensure lasting results. Your plan needs to work on your busiest days, not just your best ones. Build From the Inside OutTraining isn't just about obedience. It's about helping your dog feel safer, more confident, and genuinely happy. When we change how your dog feels about other dogs, strangers, or stressful situations, we create the foundation for meaningful, lasting behavior change. Partner With You ThroughoutYou know your dog best. I work with you as a collaborative partner. Together we'll identify what's realistic for your household, what you're comfortable with, and what success looks like for your family - then build a plan that honors all of that.

Hi, there! My name is Sky and I graduated from ABC’s dog obedience instructor program back in April of 2024, making me an ABCDT. I’m an undergraduate student working towards my bachelor’s in psychology and ethology (the study of animal behavior), and I hope to continue earning more certifications and degrees and constantly continue my education. As an undergraduate student with financial struggles myself, I hope to someday offer affordable training and behavior services, and to start a community fund for those who can’t afford my services!

I have owned dogs my entire life. Use to volunteer at shelters to train their dogs. Training both my dogs to be service dogs. Completed ABC dog training course.

I have spent my years gathering experience from multiple different doggie daycares in Upper Michigan and Indiana. I have worked as a Kennel Manager, Dog Trainer, Group Play Guardian, Animal Care Technician and more. Each position has taught me more about dog behavior and canine language. I’ve worked with tons of different breeds, personalities and dispositions. I am currently offering private, in-home training sessions in the Delta County area of Upper Michigan. Each client will have a fully customized training plan tailored to their goals, home and concerns. I believe that every dog is different which means each dog may have a different way of learning, communicating and growing. I keep that in mind when building our training plan and during the execution of the plan. With me, your questions and concerns will be heard and answered. You will have someone with you every step of the way to guide you through the process of turning your average pooch into the best canine citizen they can be!

Dog Obedience Training Consulting – Thinking of getting a dog but know where to start? Need an objective person? Someone to help evaluate the right companion for your lifestyle?

I have always loved pets. I found when I was just 12 years old how wonderful dogs can be. My hobby led me to have a fond interest in the working group (aka Siberian huskies) because I condition them in the fall and spring and go for sled rides in the winter. When a pet is properly trained, it becomes apparent that they truly are “man’s best friend” and a bond of love and trust is formed between owner and pet that will last a lifetime.

no longer training at this time.

I founded Big Paws Up to provide private training lessons in the owner’s home. Being where you and your dog actually live allows me to truly understand and work with you as a dog/owner team.

Then we can customize a training plan focused on your individual needs and requirements. I use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage and praise dogs, so they will want to learn.

The knowledge I have gained from ABC is more than I could have imagined, especially in regards to positive reinforcement techniques.

Tree of Life Dog Training Puppy classes Behavior classes Temperament testing Behavior modification I love to focus on behavior problems and the proper socialization of puppies so they have a great start in life and can be part of the family.
