Raised with dogs. Trained by working ones.
Dogs have always been a central part of my life. Growing up with them and raising puppies from an early age laid the foundation for my passion and career in dog training.
In 2018 I got my first dog of my own — Indie, an English Setter / Australian Shepherd mix. Two years later, Ranger, an Australian Shepherd, joined the family. Indie, Ranger, and I did everything together, but my passion for training truly took hold in 2020, when I completed an internship with a Sheriff's K9 Unit.
"My goal is to build clear communication, trust, and lasting relationships between dogs and their owners."
Since then I've worked with dogs of every breed, size, and temperament, and competed in both AKC and PSA events — always looking to deepen my understanding of behavior, obedience, and performance.
Indie joins the family
My first dog of my own — an English Setter / Australian Shepherd mix — and the start of everything.
Sheriff's K9 Unit internship
Hands-on exposure to working dogs that turned a lifelong love of dogs into a career decision.
Master Trainer Course, 6 months
Relocated to North Carolina, taking Gator, a Belgian Malinois, and Fish, a chocolate Lab, to train in advanced obedience and canine sports. Trained under Jerry Bradshaw and Ben Lepinski at Tarheel K9, specializing in police K9s and sport dogs, as well as training as a decoy for protection and sport work — all while completing a Bachelor of Science at Arizona State University.
Mazu joins, professional training continues
Welcomed a second Belgian Malinois, Mazu, and kept developing knowledge and skill at a local training facility focusing in pet obedience — broadening technique across a wide range of methods.
AKC & PSA competition
From Toy Poodles to Cane Corsos — still competing, still learning, still building the next dog-and-owner team.
Balanced, fair, and built around your dog.
No one-size-fits-all
Every dog is unique. Programs are tailored to temperament, personality, learning style, and your goals as an owner.
Communication, not correction
Food, toys, leash work, long lines, and remote collars when appropriate — introduced through careful conditioning as a way to communicate, not punish.
Results that last
Clear communication and trust build a relationship strong enough to hold up at home and out in the real world — for years, not just a weekend.
Training built around how you live with your dog.
