While I love teaching my clients how to train and manage their dogs, my greatest joy comes from knowing that I've empowered them with a valuable education that will help enhance their relationship with their dogs, for life! As a dog mom myself, I infuse my canine coaching with realistic expectations. I understand the challenges both humans and dogs face in everyday life and offer practical guidance and solutions for making any situation work. I also enjoy spending time with her wonderful husband and her own dog, Poncho – long-distance running, traveling to do races, and spending time in the kitchen baking Blue-Ribbon creations!
