History

Established in 2012.

I’ve had dogs all my life. Then I got Ringo. DOG. All caps. He lived a tortured life, and not surprisingly, he had some aggression and reactivity issues.

As I worked with trainers and researched how dogs learned, I became hooked. Fascinating and incredibly personally satisfying stuff, helping an animal learn how to be a dog, learn that he didn’t have to be hypervigilant and that it was okay to. .. you know. .. just chill.

Working with Ringo ignited a passion.

Thus began my journey as a dog trainer. I have sought out the best mentors in the dog industry (Jean Donaldson, Susan Friedman and Bob Bailey) and have a network of smart, knowledgeable colleagues.

I know how frustrating and confusing having a «difficult dog» can be, and how it can be emotionally draining. I also know how exhilarating it is to watch a dog blossom because you are training them humanely, clearly and effectively. I look forward to taking that journey with you.
