Connecting with Dogs

Connecting with Dogs My mission is to be humane, my style is reward-based and my greatest teachers are the dogs I work with every day. Don't mess with karma :)

Approved NACSW Trial Judge for K9 Nose Work® • Certified Nose Work Instructor offering private coaching, group classes, workshops and sniff-n-go’s throughout Southeast Wisconsin👃🐾 Connecting with Dogs is the culmination of over 10 years of personal experience, professional training, hundreds of teaching hours, unwavering support from my ever-patient husband, and a lot of influence from a few amazi

ng people along the way. My techniques combine compassion and the latest science. Mindful people who want to develop an honest connection with their dogs, participate in my practical, hands-on workshops, private training sessions, telephone consultations and educational talks in Southeast Wisconsin. You may share any original images I post on my page so as long as you do not alter them in any fashion.
