My passion for animals has been strong since childhood. Raised with many different pets, I gained a sense for interpreting animal behavior. At just eight years old I starting walking dogs, and offered pet sitting and childcare for the neighborhood during my free time. Then at just eleven years old, I started studying psychology, human, and animal behavior. In 2012 I started volunteering at Foothil

ls Animal Shelter, and in a short time, I was working directly with the behavior manager as part of the Psychological Health and Training team. I volunteered 40+ hours a week and dedicated myself to becoming a dog trainer. Life gets stressful; my mission is to ensure pets and their owners live in harmony. Your pets are, and always will be, my priority!

Instead Always Trade Up; always trading up with a Dog, is a great way to teach them that resources are freely provided, and that there is no threat coming from us, of the removal of a resource.
Have all your cues be promises. Safety first, is safety always.
