I use positive reinforcement and a least intrusive, minimally aversive behavior modification approach to help people and their dogs achieve their training and behavior goals. I serve Perry County, PA and the surrounding areas.

​

My husband and I have three Australian Shepherds, Odin (born 2012), Granite (born 2013), and Taylor (born ~2015).  I have been training since 2012, when Odin came into our lives. My dogs have earned titles in Rally-O, AKC Tricks, and Barn Hunt, and they have some experience with scent work.  Granite and Taylor are Canine Good Citizens, and Granite is a former certified therapy dog.

 

I have trained as a volunteer for Supporting Paws Foundation since 2014. 

​

I have earned the Accredited Dog Trainer credential from the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants, and a graduate of the Companion Animal Sciences Institute's Canine Behavior Science and Technology program. I have completed Michael Shikashio's Master Course - Aggression in Dogs. I'm a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers, an American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen/STAR Puppy and Tricks evaluator, and an AKC Fit Dog Level 1 instructor. I am fully insured and I am Canine First Aid Certified through DogSafe.
