Dog Behavior Training & Educational Services By The Numbers
Grounded in Experience, Guided by Science
With over 20 years of experience as a behavior consultant and trainer, my programs are built on a foundation of clinical insight, research, and compassionate care. I’ve worked alongside veterinarians in clinical settings, analyzing canine behavior and supporting families through complex challenges.
My approach integrates:
-
Published research and case studies on puppy development, aggression, and emotional regulation
-
Coauthored papers through the Center for Canine Behavior Studies
-
Direct work with dogs of all ages and backgrounds—from puppy mill survivors and shelter dogs to senior companions and adolescent rescues
-
One-on-one and group training for puppies, adults, and seniors presenting fear, anxiety, aggression, or simply needing help with manners
Every training plan is personalized, science-based, and designed to support your dog’s emotional wellness and behavioral success—whether you're navigating early development, trauma recovery, or everyday challenges like jumping, chewing, or humping.
