I'm living and loving a life gone to my three dogs: Bucky (Jack Russell Terrier), Indy (Black Lab), and Cayanne (German Shepherd)... as well as all of my secondary dogs: the dogs that belong to my clients.

I'm a Certified Canine Training and Behavior Specialist who graduated from Triple Crown Academy's School for Professional Dog Trainers. After attending school I was offered an apprenticeship at Triple Crown- the world's largest training and behavior facility. I assisted the instructors with the students in the academy, instructed group classes and trained dogs for their in-kennel program. After my apprenticeship I wrote two distance education programs for Triple Crown Academy, one for canine enthusiasts and another for basic pet obedience dog trainers. Once written, I was the main instructor for the distance education program and continued my duties as a trainer and group class instructor. However, I found myself teaching people how to become professional dog trainers more than actually working with people and their dogs, so I decided to move on.
I currently work full-time in the Twin Cities. I travel around the cities to people's home and help them with their training goals. I also instruct a variety of group classes. I have a very rewarding career, and I couldn't be more grateful to work everyday with my number one mentor: The dog :)
