I have had an affinity for dogs as long as I can remember. I spent a few years training my first dog myself while trying to find a way to enter the professional dog training world. My first job in dogs was working at a busy training and boarding kennel for 3 years while learning all the ins and outs of training and taking care of dogs. I then started my own successful business that I ran in Arizona for 8 years, having board & trains in my home and doing private lessons regularly. I have since moved to the Roanoke area for cooler weather and more space for my dogs.

I actively compete in the sport of IGP with my personal German Shepherds. It is my belief that those that have a experience with working dogs and compete in dog sport, have a more vast skill set and knowledge base when it comes to understanding dog behavior as a whole.
