About Me

I have been training dogs for over 20 years and teaching dog training at PetSmart since 2012
I enjoy assisting and competing in dog obedience trials with my dogs.
I’m a passed dog breeder and miss laying on the floor while being mobbed by the puppies.
I cannot imagine not having my dogs under my feet every day.

Dog training is not a job it is my passion

I believe in positive reinforcement dog training which means I don’t use intimidation, physical punishment or fear techniques. I choose to train my dogs as a good leader rather than using dominance theories. I have enjoyed the experience of connecting with my dogs creating a strong bond with my 4-legged friends.
