If you are looking at this page you are probably in need of a great dog trainer and wondering just who this person is and what crazy things is she going to make you do to your beloved pet. I could go on and on about my qualifications and all of the training I have – but I don’t think that is what matters. Just in case it does please check my qualifications, education, and certifications under my certifications tab.

This is the spot where I want to tell you about who I am. I have always loved dogs – my parents were wonderful parents who indulged this tendency. In fact, I think we moved out into the country simply to accommodate my ever growing collection of animals. I had horses, goats, cats, birds and other critters – not to mention dogs. I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian; however, somewhere along the line – I decided that I didn’t want to interact with animals only when they were ill. I briefly thought of working at a zoo or train animals for the movies. I chose a more ordinary path. After college, I raised my family and managed to keep the horse, dogs, and cats. I enjoyed an amazing career working with children and adults with Autism. I also became heavily involved in the rescue world. We actually have our own sanctuary of misfit and un-adoptable dogs. I started as a dog trainer for the rescues and found that I had some great skills brought from my previous career. I like taking a problem – and solving it like a puzzle and helping folks feel better and for the dog to be understood.
