Equipped with certifications in CPR from Pet Tech and training from Sunny Dog Inc., I strive to aid pet owners in health crises. My background includes training at Catch Canine Trainers Academy and Animal Behavior College, where I serve as a Training Mentor, fostering new talent in canine training.
As an advocate for modern, ethical canine training methods, I emphasize positive reinforcement while rejecting harmful aversive methods like E-Collars, Prongs, Haltis, or Easy Walks. My approach respects the individuality of each canine, tailoring training to their personality, energy, and family lifestyle, yielding faster results and happier pets.
I believe in understanding canines behavior without compromising their instincts. I operate under the Hierarchy of Dog Needs, Standards of Care and Best Do No Harm Practices. In addition to the Family Dog Mediation L.E.G.S model.
A proud member of esteemed organizations such as APDT, Pet Professional Guild, IAABC Foundation, and Shock Free Coalition, I am committed to raising industry standards and advocating for the well-being of our furry companions. My ultimate goal is to bridge the gap between pet owners and their canines, fostering a relationship based on understanding, responsibility, and care.
