About
Working in the shelter system, it’s impossible not to notice how often the same training approaches are repeated while expecting different results. Seeing dogs struggle in environments that don’t prioritize their emotional well-being pushed me to seek out an education and certification rooted in understanding the whole dog. My work is centered on building real relationships between people and their dogs through play-based connection and clear, compassionate communication. With a background in animal science and years of hands-on shelter experience, I bring a modern, thoughtful approach to training that focuses on how dogs actually learn and feel.I grew up on Long Island, and I’m passionate about making a meaningful difference in the local animal community. My goal is to help owners truly enjoy life with their dogs while helping dogs live more fulfilled, confident, and emotionally healthy lives.
