My name is Stephanie, and I am a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner with 14 years of experience working in the veterinary field. I have a bachelor's degree in Animal Biology from the University of California, Davis, accreditations in low-stress handling, Fear Free, and more. I love to learn and go to training, veterinary, and behavior conferences to stay up to date on the most current information on training methods, anxiety, and aggression. I specialize in helping pets with anxiety and aggression during vet visits, and I love teaching owners how to help their pets gain confidence in previously frightening environments.

At Ready, Pup, Go!, our mission is to guide future pet owners through the rewarding yet challenging journey of puppy parenthood. With statistics showing that approximately 20% of adopted puppies are returned or rehomed due to unmet expectations or unforeseen challenges (ASPCA, 2019), we aim to reduce rehoming rates and curb future behavior issues through comprehensive consultation and early education. By providing one-on-one coaching throughout the first year of a puppy’s life, we equip pet owners with the knowledge and support they need to raise well-adjusted, happy dogs. Ready, Pup, Go! is committed to creating stronger bonds between humans and their canine companions, one puppy at a time.

Glad you're here! Sharing life with an animal brings learning curves, questions, and moments where a little guidance makes all the difference. My role is to help you make sense of what’s going on and to offer support that feels clear, manageable, and genuinely caring so you’re not constantly second-guessing what to do next. I believe guardians thrive when they have clear guidance, kind coaching, and permission to take things at a pace that feels right. I believe animals thrive when they feel safe, understood, and supported in predictable environments. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, or simply ready for things to feel more understandable, and manageable, I’m here to help. Book a call today.
