Meet the trainer
As a certified dog trainer from the International Academy of Canine Trainers, my priority is helping you develop a personalized, one-on-one training routine that meets you and your dog’s needs, builds up confidence, and helps your dog become a well-behaved, happy member of your home. I am a Positive Reinforcement trainer and all of my training is rewards- based.
Pet 1st Aid and CPR certified, fully insured, I regularly attend webinars, pod casts, online trainings, and various dog, science-based, certification programs. Science and research are always evolving and I continue to learn and grow in the field of positive reinforcement dog training
I have always been a dog lover. George, my third dog, was a rescue. When I brought him home, he was hesitant and carried a lot of doggy-baggage with him. His trust in people had been broken and his self-confidence had disappeared. Through unconditional love, patience and a rewards–based, positive reinforcement training and exercise routine, George’s tail slowly began wagging in joy again. It hasn’t stopped since!
In 2017 I began volunteering at the Maple Ridge SPCA. In my role as a Dog Welfare Attendant, I assisted in carrying out dog’s behaviour modification plans and providing exercise for them. I witnessed many transformations of once lost, fearful dogs into becoming happy, confident dogs.
Successful dog training starts with focusing on your dog’s specific breed and understanding their genetic behavioural traits, pre-adoption history, and their current at-home environment. Using positive reinforcement, a rewards–based training method, you will learn to build a strong and trusting bond with your dog.
Before you know it, you’ll be having safe and enjoyable off-leash adventures with your furry friend!
