Meet the Trainer
My love for dogs began at a young age, but I started my career with children as a teacher in the classroom. Then for 16 years, I worked with children that were diagnosed with developmental delays and special needs as well as their families and caregivers. I also trained service dogs for a non-profit organization and helped many friends with issues they were having with their dogs. In 2018, I decided to start my own company training dogs in the Upstate area and have had the privilege of meeting hundreds of wonderful families and their amazing pups. I am so grateful that my clients have put their trust in me to teach them how to help their dogs become the best that they can be, as well as, showing them how they can give their "best friends" the most amazing life.
