About Us

I was honorably discharged from the military in 2014, and I knew one thing for sure: I wanted to work with dogs. My first step? A job at a kennel, where I quickly climbed the ranks. I started as a humble kennel tech, scooping poop and cleaning kennels, and left as a Playgroup Leader, orchestrating the ultimate doggy playdates.

From there, I was accepted into a program through Animal Behavior College. The course lasted about five months and covered the foundations of teaching basic obedience and learning theory. To get some hands-on experience, we volunteered at Best Friends Animal Society in California, where I honed my skills wrangling pups of all shapes and sizes. After graduating in 2016, I officially began my dog training career. At first, I was doing a little bit of everything—walking dogs, dog-sitting, and anything else that involved four paws and a wagging tail.

In 2017, I moved to Oregon, and that’s where my business truly took off. I became a full-time dog trainer and loved every single minute of it. Over the years, I’ve attended seminars and taken online courses to expand my knowledge because, let’s face it, when it comes to dogs, there’s always something new to learn.

My family and I have been living in Lake Havasu City for the past three years, and I’m excited to get involved with the community. My goal is to spread awareness, educate dog owners, and help build better relationships between humans and their furry companions.

My passion for training started with my oldest dog, Riley. To be honest, I jumped into puppy parenthood when I wasn’t ready. Riley and I faced years of challenges with her anxiety and reactivity toward humans and other dogs. But here’s the thing: I’m the kind of person who doesn’t back down from a challenge. If I don’t know how to do something, I’ll learn. Riley became my greatest teacher, inspiring me to pursue dog training so I could help her and others like her.

Though Riley is no longer with us, she left a lasting legacy. She taught me patience, creativity, and how to adapt to a lifestyle that suits a dog who isn’t just “easy.” Now, I use everything Riley taught me, along with what I’ve learned from every dog I’ve worked with, to help others build strong, successful bonds with their dogs.
