I started teaching obedience classes in 1993, with a focus on achieving results with a more positive & creative approach than what was common at the time. Over the last 30+ years, I have worked not only as a trainer but also as a boarding & grooming facility manager, a client service manager in a veterinary rehab & sports medicine clinic, and as a director of training for multiple locations. To say dogs & their owners have been a major part of my life would be an understatement.

I started competing in agility in 2010 & immediately fell in love with the sport. Two years later I began teaching agility classes to share my passion for the sport with others. I love to help teams problem-solve their individual training opportunities while building a happy & energetic relationship for the dog & handler.

Currently I compete in AKC, UKI & USDAA Agility, as well as training my two youngest girls, Sypha & Sabine, in Nosework, Dock Diving & to be my Diabetic Alert Dog.
