I began MY Journey as a Trainer in 2008 when Phantom joined our Family! It didn’t take long to realize how CRITICAL Socialization & Training are to raising a well-adjusted, well-behaved Family Companion. Phantom was my inspiration & as we navigated through OUR first Puppy Class, I discovered I had a NATURAL Talent for Training! From that moment on, I was determined to help other Families build stronger bonds with their Dogs through Balanced Positive Reinforcement & Guidance, turning Everyday Challenges into OPPORTUNITIES for Growth & Understanding!

The Key to Training YOUR Dog is Calm Confidence, Consistency with Rules & Dedication to the Process. It’s not always easy, but the RESULTS are worth it! Training isn’t just about building Skills—it’s a FUN & REWARDING Activity for the Entire Family!
For OVER 17 YEARS, I’ve been helping Families, like YOURS, train THEIR Family Companions, from energetic Puppies to seasoned Seniors.

Over the past years, I’ve expanded my expertise to SPECIALIZE in the Facilitation of Service, Therapy & Emotional Support Dog Training. I am passionate about what I do & EXCITED to share that Knowledge with YOU & YOUR Family!

I am trained through:

* Association of Professional Dog Trainers International (2021)
* Canine Emotion & Cognition Course & Certificate, Duke University (May 2020)
* American Kennel Club Approved Temperament Test Evaluator (December 2019)
* American Kennel Club Approved Instructor & Evaluator (October 2012)
* Certified Lake Geneva Area Senior Dog Trainer (12 years)
* Certified Lake Geneva Area Senior District Mentor (12 years)

I hope you’ll consider ME for YOUR Unique Training Needs. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any Questions!

Thank YOU!
