I’ve been helping dogs and their people learn together for more than 35 years, and I still love those moments when something finally clicks for both of them.
I believe training should be enjoyable, practical, and built on understanding—not force or intimidation.
Every dog is different, and so is every person. My job is to help you find what works for both of you.
I’m a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) and Fear Free Certified Professional (FFCP). I use reward-based methods and continue learning because dogs always have something new to teach us.
Whether you’re raising a puppy, working through the teenage years, or just hoping for more enjoyable walks and better manners, I’d love to help.
I offer private lessons in Mount Airy, Maryland, and online training wherever you and your dog happen to be.
