I developed a love for animals from a very young age. I have never NOT had a dog by my side from day one. As I grew, memorizing the encyclopedia of dogs was only one of my goals as I dove into the world of animal behavior and how it pertained to training methods. My approach to training includes a platform of pack mentality combined with clicker and positive reward training that I have developed through research, class and personal experience. I volunteer for local rescue groups offering training to these shelters and rescues giving more opportunities for these canines to find their "Furever Home." I believe that understanding your dog's behavior is the key to successfully bridge the communication gap between you and your pet. I am full member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (member #74832)
