I’m a life long pet guardian who has struggled firsthand with dog reactivity.
After struggling with my six year rescue, Louie’s reactivity, and finding no effective training options, I enrolled in the Karen Pryor Academy to better educate myself on the science behind animal behavior and positive reinforcement training.
The course changed Louie’s and my life.
Since then I’ve added to my credentials by certifying as a Fear-Free professional and a Canine First Aid responder and completed the Michael Shikashio Aggression in Dogs Masterclass.
I firmly believe that all dogs, irrespective of breed or background, can be trained through positive reinforcement. Science proves it.
I am now on a mission to empower dog guardians and their dogs with more positive experiences through behavior consulting and training so that they can be better companions to each other.
