I’ve spent well over a decade working with dogs — first as a dog walker in California, where I began noticing patterns in animal behavior that sparked my interest in dog training. That curiosity grew into years of hands-on work with pets of all personalities — from social butterfly pups and shy cats to those with bigger feelings — and led me to become a certified dog trainer and behavior consultant.
Today, dog training and behavior support are at the core of my work, helping guardians build calmer, more manageable lives with their dogs.
When I’m not working with clients’ pets, you can usually find me exploring Oregon’s trails with my cattle-dog mix, Fern, or relaxing at home with my husband, Josh, and our cat, Fig.
