Hi! I'm a dog trainer who offers more than just walks--I help your dog learn while we're out. My walks focus on leash manners, engagement, and calm behavior so you come home to a dog that's easier to handle. Whether you have a high-energy pup or a dog that needs structure, I tailor each session to your goals.

I have a pup of my own who turned 3 in March so I know how to deal with crate training, basic commands, potty training and teething. I have grown up with dogs my whole life ranging from poodles to hound mutts to German shepherds. I'm well rounded and have the patience for dogs to get used to me and get to know me.
