My journey into dog training began while I was pursuing a Master’s in Public Health with the intention of going to medical school. I came across a rescue page with a pit bull who had endured abuse and was found tied to a pole. Determined to foster and rehabilitate Lily, I submerged myself in understanding dog behavior and training techniques. This transformational experience ignited my passion to help more dogs, families, and rescues.

Building on this newfound interest, I started taking Lily to group classes at Cesar Milan’s Dog Psychology Center in Santa Clarita.  From there I gained invaluable hands-on experience as an assistant trainer and quickly rose to the position of lead trainer in weekend classes, focusing on socialization, reactivity, and mastering the art of the walk. Although I am deeply grateful for the incredible trainers I met there and the wealth of knowledge I gained in just a couple of years, I also learned what I didn’t want to do in the dog training world.  recognize differing training philosophies and have felt inspired to learn from as many trainers as possible always trying to learn a softer approach in the last 10 years in the dog training world.  

With a firm belief that a successful training regimen is rooted in a solid foundation of structure, boundaries, and appropriate physical and mental outlets, I remain committed to empowering dogs and their owners.

I am a balanced trainer but believe in guidance, proper breed fulfillment and exercise over corrections. As a mother to a spirited 10-year-old, I understand that patience, proper fulfillment, and play are essential cornerstones in helping any being. When a dog is fulfilled and properly guided, corrections are rarely ever necessary.

I love dogs, but my passion for teaching humans to be the best versions of themselves runs deep. I recognize that lasting change begins with educating the owner. With my extensive knowledge and experience, I cultivate a thriving global community of dog enthusiasts, both online and in person. I feel profoundly grateful for the opportunity to work with clients, providing education, support, and guidance every step of the way as they embark on their training journeys.
