Brief Bio
I’m an ethology-based dog trainer with over 20 years of experience helping people build strong, respectful relationships with their dogs and horses. I hold a B.S. in Animal Science from Texas A&M University and am certified as a CBCC-KA, CPDT-KA, and LFDM-Training professional. My approach is grounded in science and focused on understanding canine behavior through the lens of how dogs naturally think, feel, and learn.

I believe animals teach us to be present and authentic, and my work reflects that. I help owners learn to read their dogs and develop the skills they need to support their dogs’ well-being and quality of life. My goal is to empower people to communicate clearly, build trust, and create a peaceful, fulfilling partnership with their dogs. Whether you’re navigating behavior challenges or simply want a deeper connection, I’m here to guide and support both ends of the leash.
