If you’re overwhelmed, frustrated, or just tired of trying to train your dog with random advice from the internet, you’re not alone—and you’re exactly who I help.
At Paws the Attitude, I work with real people who love their dogs
and want real-life solutions. Whether you’ve got a wild puppy, a reactive rescue, or a dog whose behavior makes everyday life harder than it should be, I’m here to help you make lasting change without the guilt, confusion, or chaos.
With over 8 years of hands-on experience, I’ve helped hundreds of families transform their dogs’ behavior—using modern, reward-based training tailored to your dog’s needs and your lifestyle.
My journey started with a very spirited Jack Russell mix named Yoshi (thanks to my mom). He had reactivity, resource guarding, and separation anxiety—and a trainer who made things worse. That experience lit a fire in me to do better, and to become the kind of trainer I wish I’d had.
What You Can Expect:
Training that fits your real, everyday life—not a one-size-fits-all plan
Clear, personalized coaching so you actually know what to do (and why)
Support that’s judgment-free, practical, and yes, sometimes even fun
Credentials (aka, I didn’t just “grow up with dogs”):
Certified Professional Dog Trainer – Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA)AKC Canine Good Citizen & Trick Dog Evaluator
Member of IAABC & APDT
Former mentor trainer at Petco
Mentored under a Guide Dogs for the Blind trainer
Ongoing student at Fenzi Dog Sports Academy
When I’m not helping clients build calmer, more connected lives with their dogs, I’m training and competing in Rally, Barn Hunt, Dock Diving, and Nose Work with my own pups—because training should be just as fulfilling for the dog as it is for the human.
Let’s turn your dog’s chaos into confidence—and your stress into success. Reach out today and let’s build a training plan that works for you and your dog.
