About Me

Thanks for checking us out.

I am dog behavior expert and trainer who has been helping clients change unruly dogs into happy, balanced family companions since 2007. I use a simple approach combining fulfillment with connecting you to your dogs natural way of learning and thinking. Powerful results are possible when connection and understanding come together.  

I have had the amazing opportunity to work and train with some of the best minds in the business including Linn Boyke, Colleen Steckloff, Steve Del Savio, Yoa Cristobal and Art Ortiz - and since 2014 I have worked along side Cesar Millan, (National Geographic’s The Dog Whisperer and Cesar 911) as head trainer for the Training Cesars Way Fundamental’s Courses.

Together, we have taught thousands of worldwide students how to improve dog behavior by emphasizing the importance of balanced energy with the basic fundamentals of dog psychology. Being able to work and learn along one of the worlds best has been a tremendous honor and incredible learning experience that I get to share with you.

Why I can help

I have lived the life many of you are struggling with. In 2005 we got a puppy and made the same common mistakes I now see clients make with puppies and ended up with a dog that was aggressive towards people and dogs. Including the second dog we got (common mistake) to “help” the first dog we messed up.

So I have personally felt the helplessness, embarrassment, frustration and guilt of your dog biting a neighbor. I know what it’s like to have people afraid of your dog. I have experienced the fear and stress of an uncontrollable dog fight in my home. I have paid with dollars and tears for my mistakes so I truly understand what it takes to help someone when things feel out of control. 

At a low point with my dogs I met Linn Boyke. Linn had a dog psychology center in Los Angeles and after time as a client I became a student and then an employee. I was immersed in a pack of 25+ dogs for weeks at a time and although Linn was my mentor, the dogs were my teachers. The dogs quickly taught me that if I learned their language, used calm energy and fulfilled their mental and physical needs I could change even the most serious behavior issues. It was never about force or intimidation and always about connection, fulfillment and understanding.

Those experiences happened many years ago but they shaped my fundamental understanding of how to help you with your dogs. My lessons are simple and fit into a working life because I know what its like to be married, have kids, and juggle a business all while trying to deal with a few dogs, cats and other moving parts. I understand how life experiences influence the relationship we have with our dogs and how that changes over time.

Over the last 17 years I have helped thousands of owners improve the lives of their dogs using simple concepts that I can share with you to add or change ANY behaviors with your dogs. I am recommended by Veterinarians, shelters, rescue groups, groomers, dog daycares and even other trainers.
