At the heart of my training is true friendship—built through real play, mutual respect, and clear communication. Play isn't just a reward—it’s the space where dogs decompress, find joy, and become mentally open to learning. This leading-edge method creates confident, driven dogs without relying on food or luring—so there’s nothing to fade later. Dogs are shown the full picture from the start, learning in a way that feels natural and exciting. Few train like this—because it’s not just training. It’s a bond. It’s a team. 

After recently moving to Alberta, I brought with me 10 years of hands-on experience and a passion for connection. I began apprenticing under Rebecca Preston at Nanaimo K9, working with complex aggression cases. I then spent a few years at Warmland Wolf Kennels, gaining invaluable experience with wolfdogs and even a young coyote—learning how to build deep trust with the most sensitive animals.

Along the way, I’ve started a service dog and even had a few movie auditions with my high content wolfdog. 

I’ve worked with everything from powerful guardian breeds to high-drive terriers, high-content wolfdogs, and everything in between. No matter the breed, background, or behavior, I don’t turn dogs away. I welcome the tough cases—the ones others say can’t be helped.

Many of the dogs I’ve worked with were on the brink of being given up on. But with the right support, they were able to show their true potential. I believe every dog deserves that chance—and I’m here to help them find it. 

Whether you're looking for hands-on coaching or full support, I offer flexible options to fit your goals. Private lessons are perfect for owners who want to be directly involved in the process and build skills alongside their dog. Board and train programs provide immersive, focused work for dogs who need a jumpstart or more intensive support. I also offer boarding for returning clients who want their dog cared for in a familiar, training-aware environment.

No matter the path, I’m here to support you and your dog every step of the way.
