With over 6+ years of experience in dog training and behavior modification, I've dedicated my life to helping dogs and their families build stronger, more joyful relationships.

My approach combines positive reinforcement techniques with an understanding of canine psychology. I believe that every dog has the potential to be a well-behaved, happy family member with the right guidance and training.

Bev's journey in dog training

My journey and unique approach to dog training:

I didn't always plan to be a dog trainer, but those furry friends have been consistently guiding my path since childhood. Growing up with large breeds taught me early on that dogs aren't just pets – they're family members with their own personalities, quirks, and individual needs.

As a busy dog mom myself, I understand the challenges of balancing work, family, and training time. So when I started training professionally in 2019, I made a promise to myself: I would only use methods I'd be comfortable using with my own dogs. That's why I'm committed to positive reinforcement techniques that build trust instead of fear.

As a Certified Pet Trainer with additional certifications in Service Dog Task Training, I've worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, and backgrounds, including over 500+ dogs. Each one has taught me something valuable about patience, communication, and the incredible bond we share with our canine companions.
