I began training professionally in 2011 after accepting an offer at a local pet chain and completing a mentorship with a local certified behavior specialist. I began competing in conformation, rally, dock diving, and more in 2016 and continue to do so regularly. After seven years in retail training I began working as a behavior specialist for a large Humane Society performing assessments and behavior modification on shelter animals. I became certified as a LSHC-s in 2018 and received my CPDT-ka certification in 2019. I launched my full time training business soon after, but remain connected to nonprofits and the community through events and volunteer work. While building my private training business I also worked for a transport company and as a pet groomer, and most recently for an ADI accredited Service Dog training organization.

I currently offer board and trains for clients all over the country, and private sessions in the Orange County area. I have set programs for basic manners, behavior modification, confidence building, and sports foundations, or I can work with you to create a specialize program tailored to your dogs specific needs. I am comfortable with all types of dogs, but specialize in herding and working breeds. I also offer limited handling services in the conformation ring.
