About
I’m a behaviorist and dog trainer with 4 decades of hands-on experience working with more than 10,000 animals, including both dogs and exotics. I earned my degree from Moorpark College and completed a live-in Master Trainer Certification program at the National K-9 School of Dog Training, the first accredited school of its kind in the country. I also spent 6 years doing physical therapy with dogs.
I specialize in fearful and aggressive behavior problems, using real-world, practical training grounded in extensive, in-person education rather than online-only courses. My background includes 2 years of veterinarian-related course work.
If you’re struggling with your dog’s behavior and want knowledgeable, experienced guidance, I’d be honored to help you and your dog build a calmer, more confident life together.
