I am very passionate about positive reinforcement training, and have been training privately for a few years now.

I have seen properly applied positive reinforcement methods do wonders for the overall wellbeing and behavior of many dogs including my own.

I have a total of about 2 years consistent education in different positive reinforcement environments, and 100s of hours hands-on training people and their dogs and working with mild dog-dog reactivity.

As an Absolute Dogs ProDog Trainer, AD-PDT, I bring an excellent blend of strategy and training mechanics to the table. I cater to a dogs desire to have fun, using creative training games and joy to enhance learning for your canine companion.

As a Certified Behavior Adjustment Training Instructor - Knowledge Assessed, CBATI-KA, I have a deep understanding of canine body language, physiology, and how the nervous system impacts behavior for better or worse. This comprehensive course from the Grisha Stewart Academy contains both a world-class behavior modification protocol (Behavior Adjustment Training), as well as expansive supporting knowledge around reactivity and trauma in both canines and humans and a bunch of fun/useful supporting training protocols.

As an ethology enthusiast I seek to provide or recommend breed-type appropriate outlets for your dogs' needs, which can often prevent so called "problem behaviors" from being a problem at all!

I am committed to continued education, and am currently enrolled in a course with DogNostics, in pursuit of accreditation with the Pet Professional Guild.

My favorite trick is walking leg weaves, and my dogs favorite behavior is hunting for his treat taco.

I hope to see you in a lesson, until then, please enjoy these pictures of my dog!
