Success Stories

Sage

Understanding their strength

For such a well-rounded dog as Sage, designing a training plan to encourage growth seemed difficult, until I discovered her true strength came from being really challenged. Since everything else seemed to bore her, I had to get really creative to motivate her, but it made all the difference!

Shoshi

Understanding their personality

One of the most memorable puppies that I trained, Shoshi and I just seemed to click. When her owner came to me with a laundry list of issues, such as reactivity, leash-pulling, and more… even I did not expect the training to go as smoothly as it did.

Miss Tabby

Understanding their weakness

Sometimes we don’t have all the answers. Sometimes we have none. That’s when compassion and patience become the most crucial tools in training. Taking in a completely unsocialized stray cat who I couldn’t even touch for the first month - to loving me as my lifelong best friend has been the greatest achievement in my experience with animals.

Different Dogs Same Success

No two dogs are the same. That’s why I custom tailor every training plan from the ground up with your individual dog in mind.

Even after experiencing hundreds of cases from puppy training, reactive dogs, fearful dogs, and aggressive dogs across shelters, training facilities, and homes, I am always coming up with new ways to reach my students.

I create a unique curriculum for each dog based on their individual strengths, weaknesses, and personality in order to best address their needs.

So, while their learning styles, histories, and abilities may all vary wildly, the one variable that remains consistent is their results.

Training rooted in welfare

For me, training is built on curiosity, communication, and cooperation. I adhere to LIMA and LEIBI protocols, which are formally taught ethical codes of conduct and roadmaps for success that always keep the welfare of the animal in mind. Every interaction with your pet is a thoughtful one as we navigate each lesson with safety in mind and compassion at heart.
