It All Started With a Dream
A dream of behavioral rehabilitation and therapeutic experiences both for dogs and people. This dream is being realized through my growing network of dog lovers and experts in the Southeastern United States.
I started training dogs when I was just ten years old, and it quickly became my biggest passion and only desired career path. Learning everything I could about how dogs communicate became my full time obsession and I began teaching clients at the age of fourteen.
After 10 years of learning from experts like Cesar Millan, I became a Certified Dog Trainer and Mentor Trainer through Animal Behavior College and obtained a Master Certification from Jo-Thor’s Dog Trainers’ Academy. Now I provide in home private dog training to clients across Central Florida.

Methods & Approach
With over 20 years experience in working with people and handling dogs, I have learned that the key to successful dog training is in working with the owners in a way that makes sense to them and where they feel comfortable to take my methods and use them without my presence. I have come to realize that nearly every dog behavior problem can be solved with the proper education and application of balanced reinforcement methods so long as there is unwavering commitment from the dog owners.
Some of the most unwanted behaviors found in dogs are aggression, fear, anxiety, possession, unpredictable behaviors, high energy or destructive patterns. Dogs displaying these behaviors have a much higher chance of ending up at a shelter, being passed from home to home, or even causing damage to other dogs, people, households and other animals. Preventing lawsuits and accidents which endanger our children, elderly, other animals and people is my passion behind what I do.
My focus is on educating people about, solving and eliminating destructive behavior issues. Coaching people to implement natural techniques and see immediate and long lasting results brings me so much joy. Whether it be a young puppy or a rescue dog, I continually see that clients with a can-do attitude who are willing to trust me, learn from my knowledge, are coachable and consistent always have great success!
In this video of snippets from client sessions, I explain my three basic steps to creating harmonious households where there was formerly frustration and destructive behaviors
1) Basic Heel and adding distractions and speed as needed
2) Household Manners using basic obedience and boundaries
3) Social Settings; distractions are a dogs true test to adherence to a command
