    Training Philosophy
    - I am focused on improving the connection between dogs and their owners through positive reinforcement training.

    - My methods include the use of rewards (food, treats, toys, praise, and real-life rewards) to motivate dogs to obey commands readily and happily.
    -I encourage training that is humane and minimally aversive.
    -I coach owners to be effective, strong leaders and responsible dog owners in their communities.
