There are no richer and more enjoyable relationships in the world than the ones between humans and our dogs.  As with all amazing relationships, the foundation required for success is built on trust, clear and effective communication, and FUN! Every aspect of my dog training programs embody those basic concepts.

Beanie is picky about who she smooches so this is a special moment for me!

I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer and I have spent my life with dogs. I spent most of my youth on a farm in southern, Ohio.  We would have anywhere from 8 to 15 dogs at a time, each with it’s own perspective on how the world should work. We had indoor dog packs and outdoor dog packs of various breeds and mutts that we shared our lives with.  We had dogs that listened all of the time, dogs that never listened, and the most frustrating, dogs that only did what they wanted when they wanted.  I spent so much time with dogs that my mother and I joke that I was raised by the wolves. Even after leaving the farm, I continued to share my life with canines, while I was in the military, and long after I got out of the Air Force. Throughout my life, developing well-mannered and happy dogs has continued to be one of the most important passions in my life.

I know first hand that each dog has its own unique personality that bring both joys and challenges to dog ownership.  I also know that one single approach to dog training will not always get the results you want. Because I am trained and experienced in a multitude of approaches and tools, I will find the right fit for you and your dog.

After all he had been through, Maddox needed time to trust me but I fell for him at first sight
