INTRODUCTION

​

I have more than 12 years of experience as a dog trainer working with companion dogs and their families through private classes, 10 years of experience handling groups of dogs and socializing them while directing a boarding and daycare facility in Mexico. During that time, I taught more than 13 group classes annually for dogs of varying ages on obedience and behavioral issues, as well as dog sports. One of my areas of expertise is with young puppies and adolescent dogs, focusing on the prevention and management of behavioral problems. In addition, I am passionate about dog walking and have much experience, both as a dog walker and training other people to provide quality dog walks for my clients.
