"I TRULY believe that
trained dogs have more fun!"
Macy Walker
I believe that every dog and owner should be able to enjoy a full life with no restrictions or caveats because of undesirable dog behavior. I learned this after adopting my first dog, Jagger!
Through him, I learned first-hand, the importance of the owner/dog relationship and how to love them through guidance and leadership. I’ll be honest, I had no idea what I had just gotten myself into. He started out the perfect little puppy, but as he continued to grow, he became human aggressive, dog reactive, and showing just about every dangerous behavior that you can think of. But it was because of him that I found my true love and passion in dog training and behavior modification. I learned that with the right education, leadership, tools, and training, you can correct these dangerous behaviors and train a solid foundation of obedience to build the best possible relationship with your dog and give them the most freedom imaginable! Allowing both you and your dog, to have a fuller life together.
After successfully rehabilitating and training Jagger, I adopted my second dog, Chia. It was then I knew my career in dog training was cemented, and there was no other path I could imagine myself on. There is nothing I love more than seeing the progress these dogs AND their owners can make when given the proper education and opportunity.
While I got to where I am today because of my dogs, it's the people I am in business for! I don't want people to feel like prisoners in their own homes, not be able to live a full life because of their dog's behavior. No one should feel stuck or helpless!
My previous work experience in the pet care and veterinary industry has only helped to reinforce how important the relationship between a dog and its owner is as well as its effect on undesirable AND desirable behaviors. Add to that my bachelor’s degree in exercise science, although currently not applied to humans, I am fully aware of how important exercise and movement are to dogs as well. Training should not only be fun and physical but also mentally stimulating! It is the combination of physical exercise and mental exercise/stimulation that helps promote a happy, healthy, and well-behaved dog!
My training programs incorporate all of this and more! By learning about you, your dog, and your relationship with each other, I can help identify where miscommunications lie.
Through total customization, from developing basic good manners, setting a solid foundation and structure, to addressing reactivity or aggression, I will offer you the tools and education to correct or modify these behaviors allowing you and your dog to truly live life to its fullest.
I fully believe that trained dogs have more fun and more freedom! Through effective communication and mutual respect, dogs and their owners can open their worlds to endless possibilities!
Be the most important part of your dog’s world!
