I am a certified Dog Behavior Consultant through IAABC, certified professional dog trainer through CPPDT, certified instructor in Nosework through NACSW<\/a> and in Tricks & Canine Fitness through DMWYD<\/a>, certified Service Dog Coach through Cooperative Paws<\/a>. I am also a certified Family Dog Mediator and Separation Anxiety Consultant.<\/p>\n

I have been a lifelong lover of dogs. But it wasn\u2019t until I rescued a fear-aggressive little poodle mix named Bailey in 2010 that I became serious about dog behavior and training.<\/p>\n

To help Bailey build his confidence, I began taking him to classes at the Marin Humane for obedience, agility, nosework and tricks. I also started to volunteer at the Behavior & Training department at the Marin Humane to broaden my learning and understanding of canine behaviors. I volunteered for 5 years before I became a group class instructor for dog training classes. During that time, I immersed myself in the areas of helping with group dog training classes, walking shelter dogs and their assessments and assisting in behavior consultations.<\/p>\n

During 2016-2018, I took the role as the client services supervisor at Marin Humane and managed a group of dog training instructors, behavior consultants and two volunteer groups, dog training assistants and behavior consult assistants.<\/p>\n

Through attending many canine classes, workshops, behavior seminars and canine conferences, I have gained better understanding about dogs and their behaviors. I also realize that “having fun” is a key factor in learning effectively, especially for both the teacher and learner.<\/p>\n

My goal and focus are to share my canine knowledge with dog owners and help them find joy in training their dogs.<\/p>\n

I offer in-person canine behavior consultations and private dog training in Marin. I also provide virtual sessions over Zoom for clients reside outside of Marin. I teach basic obedience, tricks, body conditioning exercise, scent work, cooperative care, senior dog care and coach owner-trainers on service dog tasks. My specialty is working with fear-aggressive dogs on behavior modifications.<\/p>\n
