Introduction: Puppy socialization & dog training is my passion!
I was born in New York City and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
In Rio, I trained dogs for a variety of skills including agility, service dog public access, and performance in movies, TV & commercials. I have a little movie star at home, a Border Collie named Pin (pronounced “Ping”). We competed together in agility trials, locally and internationally.
Last year, I moved back to New York and began working in Manhattan and Long Island. I enjoyed the challenge of living and training dogs in NYC but love the natural beauty of my new home in Minnesota.
I also enjoy Trick Training. Contrary to popular belief, you CAN “teach an old dog new tricks!”
I love helping people and dogs optimize their relationships and realize their potential.
Let me know what you are looking for. I am here for you and your dog!
I use only science-backed, reward-based training solutions. The results I've seen with this method are amazing. It is effective and long lasting. It strengthens the owner-dog relationship, creates more confident and reliable dogs. I absolutely love working like this!
