I’ve had dogs all my life, and I’ve loved discovering their unique personalities. Each one was different, but when it came to training, one thing was the same: positive reinforcement. More recently, Fína came into my life, and from the moment I held her in my arms, everything changed. Every dog teaches us something new—Fína taught me what a true partnership with a dog can feel like. That experience inspired me to help others discover the same joy and connection.

As a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner, with ongoing education in modern, ethical, evidence-based methods, I’m committed to providing training that is compassionate, practical, and effective. Whether you’re raising a new puppy, navigating reactivity, or simply striving for a calmer, more connected life with your dog, I’ll help you build confidence, understanding, and trust. Because training isn’t about control—it’s about creating a lifelong bond with your best friend.
