Train with Compassion

I first became interested in dog training when I (unknowingly) adopted a reactive dog. I learned everything I could through classes, research, and meeting other reactive dog owners. I definitely fumbled along the way! I found that rewards-based training methods were the most effective and I’ve since adopted and worked with other dogs with behavioral issues. In 2023, I started volunteering in obedience classes and shadowing other trainers at the MSPCA. In 2025 I began working as a trainer and earned my CCPDT certification

I am passionate about working with dogs and their humans on basic obedience as well as problem behaviors, and fear based behavior issues. I am a science backed positive reinforcement trainer using fear free approaches. I am comfortable handling all sizes, ages, breeds, and reactivity levels.  I will work to  provide you with the skills to build a long lasting relationship with your pup based on trust. They are a part of the family after all!

I recognize the importance of working with a trainer you click with and trust. Our relationship with start with an initial free phone consultations During this time, we’ll discuss your dogs behavioral issues , your training goals and determine if I'm a good fit for you in helping you achieve them. We will develop a personalized plan aligned with your training needs and goals. If you’re unsure what you need, I can provide that guidance.

Before each session I will let you know what you need to have and provide a breakdown of the plans for that day. Your training sessions will be tailored to you and what you want to work on. In between sessions I will suggest things you can work on to further cement the new skills.

No commitment is required.
