Pet Behavior Help in the NC Triangle
Meet the Team

MS, CPDT-KA

My goal is to bring you and your dog more joy and less stress!
-
My education level means you're getting top-notch, humane help. I've earned a Master's degree in dog and cat behavior. (And a Bachelor's in Animal Behavior.) This is what I've wanted to do since I was 12, and I wanted the best education I could get.
-
I love dogs AND people! You deserve compassion and understanding just as much as your dog does. (No judgements here on what training you've tried before or what you did when you got stressed!)
-
My dogs and I have earned Canine Good Citizen certificates, a therapy dog certification, DMWYD and AKC Trick Dog titles, and a Cooperative Care Certificate! We also train for Rally-FrEe, disc, and musical freestyle!

My goal is to set you and your dog up for success and to provide you with the most fulfilling relationship possible.
-
I completed the Karen Pryor Academy to earn my KPA CDT certification. This is a rigorous training program designed to complement my hands-on experience training for hundreds of hours with dozens of different breeds. I'm also ready to get my CPDT-KA in the Fall.
-
I especially love helping dogs with fears, frustrations and reactivity find healthy ways to get their needs met. I bring creativity and empathy into our problem solving.
-
Bully breeds hold a special place in my heart. I’m passionate about working with bully owners in order to help these tenacious and sweet souls find joy and blossom into confident, loving members of their families.
-
Both my dogs have earned Canine Good Citizen titles and are working on Trick Dog titles. I love to hike with my Bernese Mountain Dog, Sam, and bully, Gibbs, and can often be found daydreaming about the mountains of NC.
