What type of behavior issues do you work with?

I bring a wealth of experience tackling serious behavior concerns including separation distress, dog and human directed aggression, resource guarding, sound sensitivity/noise phobia, hyper-activity, predatory behavior and more.

What education and experience do you have?

I am a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant with the IAABC. I am certified with the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers as a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (Knowledge Assesed), I am a Certified Separation Behavior Consultant after completing mentorship and examination under industry expert Julie Naismith. I am a Family Dog Mediator with Kim Brophey’s LEGS program. I have also completed the Aggression In Dogs Master Course with Mike Shikashio.

I have undergone years of mentorship under Karishma Warr as a Senior Behavior Consultant at Calm Canine Academy and taken additional mentorships with industry leader Sarah Stremming and Emma Lee of Lighten Up Dog Training.

What methods do you use?

I focus on providing ethical, effective and empathetic support to strengthen the canine human bond and transform serious behavior challenges. I will never recommend using pain or fear to help you and your dog.

Do you provide support to behaviour practitioners and trainers?

In recent years, I have begun providing mentoring support to behavior consultants and trainers who need a second set of eyes on a case or are concerned they are missing a piece of the puzzle. I provide support to practitioners who are welfare forward, committed to seeing the whole dog and are looking to improve their human coaching skills too.
