Kindred. Kinship. KinDog.
BECAUSE DOGS ARE FAMILY
Humane, science-based, professional dog training and behavior consulting
I love your dog. I love your Max who growls and snaps at people. I love your Daisy who barks and lunges on walks. I love your Bailey who is afraid of so many things. As a fear, reactivity, and aggression specialist, I get it.
​
Your dog is struggling, and I know you are too.
​
Using kindness and science, I will help you with your dog's behaviors while you build a partnership rooted in trust, compassion, and support. Because dogs deserve that. Because dogs are family.

MY TRAINING APPROACH
Kindness and science. Those are my training tools.
I am dedicated to humane, science-based training principles that focus on positive reinforcement and building trust. I do not use or recommend training equipment or techniques that rely on pain, fear, physical force, or intimidation.
Using a rewards-based approach rooted in the science of animal learning means you can address behavior issues while building a supportive partnership with your dog. Your dog learns skills and trust. You learn to truly understand your dog.
​
Because dogs deserve that. Because dogs are family.
