​

Growing up in Middletown, California, I was surround by animals starting at a young age. Spending time at my best friends farm around chickens, goats, horse, dogs and cats. 

 

While living in Southern California I worked with Walt Hanlon teaching dog obedience classes, as well as assisting with group classes and helping pet owners whose furry friends were having behavior issues.

 

Training since 2005 I feel I have a natural ease with dogs that has only been enhanced. My first four legged companion, Maui, was a coon hound mix I rescued and rehabilitated. Maui was fully socialized and trained and accompanied me almost everywhere I went. She helped me train and taught me so much. She passed away at the old age of 15 and will forever be my biggest teacher. I currently have three dogs, River, a crazy border collie and Lucy the princess of a Chihuahua and Winnie a spit fire 1.5lb Yorkie.
