I love helping people learn with their dogs so they build richer engaged relationships, enjoy adventures and feel confident and fulfilled together! I am a certified professional canine fitness trainer (CCFC 2021, CPFCT 2023) and dog trainer (CPDT-KA 2012, Certified C.LA.S.S evaluator 2011) and certified animal cold laser therapy practioner (2024) with many years experience working with small and large dogs in rural and urban settings, ranging from basic behaviours to dogs with behavioural issues. I specialize in canisport and fitness training to promote and improve quality of life through connection, mental enrichment, physical fitness and cross training sports/jobs that tap into each breeds unique drive. I believe dog training should be a fun, proactive and positive learning experience using science based methods. Ultimately my goal is to help clients to develop a richer human-dog relationship and greater sense of community. When a dog's needs are met and wanted behaviours are reinforced and both are supported by enviromental management then we have a happy, fulfilled and successful dog - and a happy guardian.
