Welcome

  My greatest mentors in dog training have been Toni Drugmand of Dog-On-It Dog Training (Now a Sit Means Sit franchise owner) and Anne Austin of Animal Actors. I have taught with Toni for over 20 years and when my son was born I took some time off to help concentrate on his needs.  I started Search and Rescue with Anne and sadly my dog passed away and we never deployed. I am very devoted. 

I have instructed classes on obedience and confirmation. Teaching dog training over the years has been one of my passions and one of the ways I give back to the community. I enjoy donating my time and love to help my students bond with their animals.  My knowledge is extensive, and I am always open to new ideas. Teaching you how to teach and train your dog is the most rewarding part for me.

I have researched and attended seminars on many techniques relating to dog training ranging from motivational, clicker training, Bill Koehler’s method of dog training and e-collar training. I am versed in all disciplines of dog training and consider myself a balanced trainer with many tools in my toolbox. 

I believe that knowledge of many training disciplines allows for flexibility, making me more effective when working with dogs. I am a very good observer and very precise in my training. I am always looking for an easier and gentler way of training.
