Traditional training meets intuitive connection.

My journey into dog training began with my own dog.

Like many devoted dog owners, I found myself overwhelmed by a reactive dog and desperate to help. I sought professional guidance, but the solutions I was offered didn't align with my values at the time. I was encouraged to use aversive tools such as electronic collars and prong collars to suppress unwanted behaviors. While I respected that different trainers have different philosophies, I knew in my heart there had to be another way for this dog.

With a lifelong background in metaphysical healing, Reiki, intuition, and compassionate communication, I believed that fear and force couldn't be the foundation of a trusting relationship. with her.  Instead of giving up, I decided to learn everything I could about canine behavior and  both positive and balanced science-based  dog training.

That decision led me to enroll at CATCH Canine Trainers Academy, where I studied modern dog training methods built on positive reinforcement, balance, relationship, and understanding. There, I discovered that effective training doesn't require intimidation—it requires clear communication, consistency, and trust.

Fast forward to 2024 when I added a Giant Schnauzer puppy to my pack. This working line, high prey drive puppy gave me a run for my money and I quickly learned that he needed me to show up differently for him.  He required that I learn how to use tools like the prong collar the right way. I took him to work dog classes, I learned how to fulfill his prey drive the right way. I  took online classes and read many books too. He taught me a lot about balanced training methods and now we share an amazing life together. 

Today, I've combined my formal dog training education with my background in mindfulness, energy work, and holistic wellness to create a unique approach that honors both the science of dog behavior and the profound connection between humans and their dogs. 

My program helps owners understand what their dogs are communicating while building confidence through positive reinforcement and balanced methods.  My goal is to help you  develop a calm, connected partnerships rooted in compassion rather than control.

I believe every dog deserves to be understood, every owner deserves hope, and every relationship has the potential to heal. 

I do not believe that there is only one way to train a dog. I will show you how to work with the dog that you have in a personalized way so that you can have a beautiful life together.
