Your Dog Community
Your dog is family
When you get home after a long day of work your dog is there to meet you with a grinning smile and a wagging tail. They are happiest at your side whether it is going for a walk or relaxing watching a show. This is the dream of having a good dog.
Your reality is after a long day at work you are met at the door with a hyper excited dog jumping up and running all over the place. You cannot relax on the couch because they want to run, jump, and play non-stop. A walk would be nice but your dog pulls you everywhere you go and barks at every moving thing.

At any stage of your dog's life they can develop unwanted behaviours. As Your Personal Dog Trainer I am here for you.

Your Personal Dog Trainer
As your dog's guardian, your bond knows no limits. Your family dog relies on you for everything, big and small. The ability to train and communicate effectively with your dog is a precious gift that fills you with awe when they learn new behaviours. Mastering dog training is one of the best things you can do for yourself, your dog, and for fun!
Let’s train together! I can make life with your dog the best it can be. As your personal dog trainer, we will manage your environment to prevent and stop unwanted behaviours from happening as well as train your dog to do the behaviours you want them to do. By training with me your feelings of frustration and embarrassment about your dog’s unwanted behaviours will turn into relief and pride about all the impressive behaviours your dog can do.
My Story
My background growing up on our family farm in Southwestern Manitoba instilled in me a deep appreciation for the welfare needs of animals. I learned the importance of caring for our pets and treating them as part of the family, which carried on into my passion for dog training.
Building trust and respect is key to a successful relationship with your dog, and as a Certified Professional Dog Trainer and Dog Walker with over 7 years of experience, I am committed to providing the best instruction possible. My Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities has helped me employ scientifically sound, humane training methods that reinforce positive behaviours and redirect unwanted ones. I am dedicated to continuing my education to ensure the dog guardians I work with receive the highest quality training for their family dogs.
Kola and Hobbes
My dogs live in a world of “yes!” That is the word marker I use with Kola and Hobbes to let them know they “got it right". This is also my approach to dog training. When I train with a dog there is a dialogue back and forth – a fair exchange of give and take. There is no hierarchy of “do this or else!” I want to build a relationship that allows the dog to express their individual personality and intelligence. Dogs deserve the freedom to make choices that result in their lives being the best they can be. I firmly believe in using scientifically sound, humane positive reinforcement training methods that work. By giving dogs choice and rewarding them for getting it right, we can create mutual understanding and improve their lives.
