At White Dog Training, I offer private and group canine training sessions designed to help you confidently take the lead and become the calm, confident, loving leader your dog naturally looks to for guidance and direction. My approach focuses on coaching you—because lasting transformation begins with the handler. I equip individuals with the skills, understanding, and confidence needed to build clear communication, mutual trust, and a strong, balanced relationship with their dog.
​
I am an accredited canine trainer with an advanced diploma in canine behavior and training. I am also a certified therapy dog handler and represent the Alliance of Therapy Dogs as a Tester/Observer for therapy teams including Jr. Handlers.

"Sometimes our canine companions’ behaviors can create chaos in our lives, straining the bond between you and your dog and even impacting relationships with family, friends, and neighbors. I would love to share with you the mindful art of building healthy, connected canine partnerships."
