My training philosophy in one line

Teach it clearly, expect it fairly, and never blame the dog for mixed signals.

My superpower with dogs

The best part of my day

Being able to let loose, be goofy, and have lots of fun with all the dogs. There is never a dull moment in daycare, and I always have a big smile on my face at the end of every day.

The dog who taught me the most

My childhood dog, Henry. He was adorable and stubborn as ever, but he helped me realize my deep passion and love for dogs.
