About

I am a professional dog trainer holding certifications from Animal Behavior College (ABC-DT) and the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CPDT-KA), as well as serving as a Certified Canine Good Citizen Evaluator through the American Kennel Club. I have over two years of hands-on experience training dogs, including service dog training. I provide personalized private training designed to create calm, reliable, and confident canine companions. I specialize in foundational obedience and common behavior concerns such as leash walking, housebreaking, and reactivity. My training emphasizes real-world reliability and establishing clear communication between dogs and their handlers. I currently have one dog, Petra, a five-year-old Belgian Malinois. Together, Petra and I have earned our Novice Trick Dog title and are currently working toward our Intermediate title through Do More With Your Dog!. I look forward to working with you and your dog!
