Embarking on a training journey with your dog is exciting, though it can also feel overwhelming. You're not alone—I’m here for you every step of the way!
My mission is to support and guide both ends of the leash with compassion, meeting you where you are to help you build skills and thrive together.
Whether addressing complex challenges or providing proactive training, my focus is always on fostering a happier, more fulfilling life for dogs and people.
Using a compassionate, science-based approach, I prioritize your dog’s emotional, social, and biological needs while empowering you with the skills to thrive together.
I’m dedicated to creating a welcoming, inclusive environment where all people and dogs feel safe, supported, and respected.
Sessions are available in your home, out in the community, or virtually via video call - wherever works best for you.
Your dog is not giving you a hard time, they are having a hard time.
Unlike professions requiring licenses or certifications, anyone can call themselves a “Dog Trainer” or behaviour expert without formal qualifications. This makes it challenging to identify skilled professionals versus those using outdated or harmful methods.
While certifications are voluntary, many professionals uphold high standards, using science-based, humane techniques. I earned my credentials by passing comprehensive exams, submitting case studies, professional references, and demonstrating practical skills in behaviour modification and coaching. I maintain these credentials through continuing education and adherence to a strict Code of Ethics.
I am committed to progressive, welfare-focused methods, providing safe, effective training while advocating for change and accountability in an industry lacking consistent standards.
