My journey into the world of dogs began when I adopted a rescue Labrador Retriever 15 years ago. Witnessing the need for loving homes, I dove into volunteering at my local SPCA, igniting my passion for dog behavior. This led me to CATCH Canine Academy, where I discovered the wonders of positive reinforcement training.
My journey didn’t end at CATCH. I’m now a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) and a Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer (CSAT), devoted to aiding dogs and people in need.
With years of experience, I’ve learned that dogs, like people, are one-of-a-kind. Unleashing their potential means understanding their quirks and passions – be it treats, playtime, or cuddles. By understanding what makes them tick, we shape great behaviors together. But it’s not just about your dog; it’s about empowering you to guide and support your dog in real-life situations.
As a proud member of APDT and PPG, I adhere to force-free methods: “Informed by Science, Guided by Empathy, Governed by Ethics.”
I live in Pennsylvania in the Upper Perkiomen area with my husband Dave and our three dogs, Freddy, Petey and Buddy. Since our kids are grown with families of their own, our pups are our Best Buddies, and the center of our lives. I bet your dog is the same to you.
“Thanks for your words of encouragement and for the offer of advice in the future. You have been wonderful to deal with. We have been so impressed not only with your knowledge but also with your personality and the very prompt responses anytime we needed your help.” –Mario & Elvira
