As a force free professional, I apply the same level of gentle, effective care to educating humans as I do to training their dogs. My dog training education (Turid Rugaas, Karen Pryor, Aggressive Dog, Treat/Retreat and many ongoing trainings) and my Masters in Social Work combine to give me a unique perspective on enhancing your relationship with your dog while getting you the changes in their behavior you need.

Life is challenging enough, training your companion animal doesn’t have to be. We provide proven, force-free, efficient, reward-based solutions with all of our clients, human and animal alike.
