Our training methods are rooted in using all four quadrants during training to reinforce wanted behaviors or extinguish unwanted behaviors.

Being a dog trainer is much more than just training a dog to me; it’s a passion that has shaped my life. With over a decade of experience and a deep-rooted appreciation for the welfare of animals and canine behavior, I am committed to transforming the dog industry through compassionate and ethical teaching methods. Growing up in the dog industry, I was fortunate to witness firsthand the joy and fulfillment that can emerge from the human-canine relationship.
My early exposure to the dog industry instilled in me a deep-rooted love and respect for their innate qualities, igniting a passion that would guide my path as a dog trainer and handler. This passion led me to purchasing my first two working Malinois in 2017 while separating from the U.S. military after 5 years of service. These two Malinois are highly ribboned and titled in many sports displaying superb obedience and stable temperaments through my training. Throughout the years I continued to further my knowledge by shadowing other trainers and attending seminars. In 2022 I attended the world class NePoPo® training school and graduated as a gold student.
This left me 1 in 500 in the world, at the time, to hold that level of certification. Being certified under two of the top renowned trainers in the industry is something I am very proud of. I am fortunate enough to have ongoing training and mentorship through highly sought out trainers all over the U.S. to help continue furthering my knowledge and training skills. I am so passionate about every dog that comes through our doors along with their owners. I cannot wait to work with you and help you and your dog become the best team ever!
After dedicating 14 years of my life to serving in the United States military, I embarked on a new chapter as a K9 handler with the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office.
This professional transition has allowed me to fulfill my passion for dogs through dog training, while also embracing the joy of competition with my sport Malinois and the undeniable companionship of our goofy Golden retriever. Joining the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office as a K9 handler provided the perfect opportunity, as it allowed me to work alongside highly trained dogs while maintaining public safety and preserve peace in our community.
While a K9 handler I certified my working dog in obedience, tracking, and bomb detection. My desire to bring dogs to their full potentials is what started the foundations of my dog training journey in the pet world.
Continuous learning plays a crucial role in personal development. As a canine enthusiast, I find great pleasure and fulfillment in expanding my knowledge by attending world-class seminars to help bring the newest and best techniques to you and your dog. Dog training is such an amazing way to connect with your dog through their biological needs. I am looking forward to working with you and your dog!
We are dedicated to empowering dog owners like yourself to cultivate harmonious relationships with your dog.
