"The girlfriends approach to building businesses".

I’m a certified professional dog trainer (KPA-CTP) with a master’s degree in biology, and my work is grounded in positive reinforcement and science-based operant conditioning. My number one rule is that this is a shame free zone.



Many of us bring dogs into our lives during difficult seasons. After a health diagnosis, a breakup, trauma, or while navigating mental health recovery, a dog can feel like comfort and stability. I adopted my own reactive dog after being robbed. His barking helped me feel safe, but it also created challenges with guests, the vet, and daily life. That experience deeply shaped my empathy as a trainer.



I provide practical, realistic guidance that fits into real life. No guilt, no judgment, just clear support and evidence based methods that help you and your dog make meaningful progress together.
