You’re Not Failing Your Dog—You Just Need Support That Fits

Many Seattle dog guardians are doing their best with anxious, reactive, or sensitive dogs. It’s hard. And most advice out there just doesn’t apply to dogs like yours.

I offer thoughtful, personalized training that fits your dog’s needs and your real life. Whether you’re in Ballard, Greenwood, or the U-District, I’m here to help you feel more confident—and help your dog feel safer, more understood, and less stressed.

Training Services

In-Person Day Training

I’ll work directly with your dog during the week—then coach you through keeping that progress going. Available in Seattle neighborhoods.

Virtual Behavior Counseling

For dogs who are anxious, fearful, or need space, virtual training gives us room to build trust and lasting change—together.

I’ve Been Where You Are

When I adopted my own dog, I was overwhelmed. He was anxious, afraid of everything, and didn’t respond to the typical advice. I felt stuck and alone.

That experience led me to study fear, reactivity, and behavior in dogs. Now, I help people like you—and dogs like mine—build trust and confidence through kind, customized training.

I’m a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA), a graduate of CATCH Canine Trainers Academy, and I’ve spent years volunteering on shelter behavior teams. But more than anything, I care deeply about helping you and your dog succeed—together.
