Owner, Founder

I grew up around dogs and have always been a huge animal lover. In 2010 I sought out training for my newly adopted dog Zuni. He was a young, high energy, social guy that came to me as sweet as can be but with separation anxiety and minimal manners. My dream was to be able to have solid obedience and reliable off leash training so he could go on every adventure with me. After a few sessions, Zuni’s trainer called me a natural and offered me a job. Dog training was never something I’d even considered, but at the time I was halfway through a business degree in college still with no idea what I wanted to do with my life. Over the last 10 years, dog training has introduced me to so many amazing opportunities, people, dogs, places, and knowledge. I’ll forever be grateful to Zuni and Zuni’s trainer for unexpectedly launching me into this career. Without training I would have never known just how good of a dog Zuni was capable of being, and to this day one of my favorite parts of being a dog trainer is being able to see the potential in my client’s dogs that they do not even know is there. My goal is to never stop learning and seeking knowledge from others in the industry and to always be ABOVE THE STANDARD!
