My Story
I was born and raised in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with a love for adventure and the outdoors with a faithful K9 companion by my side. From as early as I can remember my love for dog’s grew into a desire to build and grow my relationship with them. In awe of watching trainers in a variety of classes that I would attend, it was like magic to me watching the deep, fulfilling bond on both ends of the leash. Training transformed from a desire to a deep convicted passion of the heart for me… I am called to be a dog trainer! Attending dog show’s, demonstrations, volunteering as a puppy raiser for Summit Assistance Dogs and a private breeder of champion bloodlined protection working Rottweilers then relocating to Florida working as a Lead Trainer at Petco. After much contemplation and prayer, the direction of starting my own training business was made abundantly clear to me. I had something different to offer. That awe, that magic, that passion placed in my heart… not to “fix” dog’s but to help show a different way to achieve the behaviors hoped for not yet seen through building trust and confidence in the relationship leading to willing obedience.
