My education includes a Master’s in Social Work, as well as the Atlas Trainer Certification course and other dog training and behavior courses.

I am one of a handful of people in the US to have completed the Norwegian animal behaviorist Turid Rugaas’s Comprehensive Certification Program in Dog Training With a Focus in Behavior Consulting and Problem Solving. She was one of the first people to study canine body language and to incorporate it in to how she works with dogs. This background can give me insight in to how to bring out the best in your dog, and how to set up your training sessions to make them as productive as possible.

Having had a service dog myself (PTSD), I understand the profound difference they can make in your life.

I love working with both dogs and people, and I would be honored to help you select and train your service dog.
