In 2002, I graduated from the American Institute For Animal Science with a degree in Canine Behavior Counseling and established my
own business, A Better Canine. I became a Certified Professional Dog Trainer through the Certification Council for Pet Dog Trainers
in 2003, and in 2006, I completed a Life Coach certification program through the Spencer Institute, specializing in coaching the canine
performance athlete.
I use positive training methods so training is fun for everyone. In addition to doing in-home consultation, I also teach both agility and family dog classes. I have been at Tails-U-Win! in Manchester,CT since 2000 and at It's PAWSible! Dog Training Center in Westhampton, MA since 2008. My agility classes emphasize having a solid foundation of control and focus as well as maximizing the use of reinforcement. I am a professional member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers as well as an AKC Canine Good Citizenship evaluator.

My Dogs
I began my agility career in 1999, and since then, have competed with the top ranked agility dogs for 2 different breeds, earning MACH titles on multiple dogs. I am constantly learning about and teaching the most up-to-date training and handling methods and specialize in helping handlers and their canine teammates overcome performance obstacles and achieve success in training and competition.
