I first became interested in dogs in 2012, when I decided to get a Doberman Pinscher. Ryder was a wonderful companion, but he sadly passed away at just three years old due to health issues. About a year and a half later, I felt ready for another dog; however, I was renting a home that did not allow pets. This led me to explore dog-related employment, and I soon secured a position at a doggy daycare that also offered training—an experience that marked the beginning of my professional training journey.

Over the years, I worked at multiple daycares, collaborated with several trainers, and spent a year as a veterinary technician. During that time, I also trained my current dog, Josie, for competitive dog sports. After my year as a vet tech, I launched my own training business. Since then, I have trained thousands of dogs, accumulated over ten years of hands-on experience, competed in a variety of high-level dog sports, and was featured in the UKC’s video series on competitive obedience.

Dog training has become a central part of my life, and I plan to continue this work for many years to come.
