I have been offering my dog training and consulting services to the Pasadena community for the past 10 years.

My journey began when, as a young pet sitter, I fell in love with a client’s dog. Deeply misunderstood, exhibiting fear aggression, he was ultimately euthanized. This experience began a life-long journey into learning about fear, anxiety and aggression in dogs.

I am now a Certified Behavior Adjustment Training Instructor, a Certified Family Dog Mediator, a member of the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants as well as a member of the International Association of Professional Dog Trainers.

As a dog behavior consultant, my approach centers on helping pet parents build deeper, more respectful connections with their dogs by learning to truly understand them - starting with canine body language and communication. I believe in training rooted in kindness, compassion, and empathy, recognizing that dogs are complex individuals shaped by both internal and external influences. My methodology goes beyond anecdotal advice, incorporating current research and science on how dogs and people learn, how behavior is shaped, and how our own actions and emotional states as guardians directly impact our dogs’ experiences. By empowering you with knowledge and practical tools, I aim to create lasting positive, change for both ends of the leash.
