in the typical cliché "I've loved animals my whole life". Rescuing, rehabbing and researching since I could walk and talk. always wanting to put the animals needs above all else. As I grew up, the dogs I was raised with were trained with a much heavier hand then I ever agreed with. But once i joined the Equine (horse) industry i began questioning even more nd found the positive reinforcement community after leaving horses behind due the the aversive and heavy handed "leadership" methods I was being taught..
After joining the industry in a number of ways between training in a corporate setting, grooming salons, daycares etc, my biggest struggle was the push to train in a large group setting to develop multiple dogs at a single time in these settings.

After joining the industry in a number of ways between training in a corporate setting, grooming salons, daycares etc, my biggest struggle was the push to train in a large group setting to develop multiple dogs at a single time in these settings. Many times watching either the dogs struggle and or their guardians battle with comparison, scheduling and the environment in general. Leading to a lot of frustration, disappointment and heartbreak from many involved. So I made the decision to go on my own, offering private lessons only, in the comfort of the clients home to provide the best overall results in a respectable manner to the dogs needs and abilities!
