The Truth About Dog Training: It's Not About the Dog.
I started training dogs in 2020 and built my practice through results. Based in Austin, TX. Working with clients worldwide.
The Approach
After years of working with dogs across every breed, background, and behavior problem, I kept arriving at the same conclusion: the dog is rarely the problem. The dog is a mirror. What you're seeing in your dog — the reactivity, the disobedience, the unpredictability — is almost always a reflection of what's happening on the other end of the leash.
That's not a criticism. Most owners simply haven't been taught how to communicate clearly with their dog. They've been given commands without context, tools without technique, and advice that works in a training facility but falls apart the moment they're back in the real world. Reliable results don't come from drilling your dog — they come from you understanding how your dog thinks, what your dog needs, and how to hold that standard consistently across every environment.
Every program I run is built around this. You're not dropping your dog off and picking up a trained version. You're learning alongside them. By the end, your dog listens to you — not because of me, but because you've become the handler your dog needs you to be.
The Story
I started training dogs in 2020 and built my practice through results. Based in Austin, TX — I trained Korra as a service dog from a puppy, and that experience is what made me fall in love with dog training.
I specialize in working dogs, service dog training, and behavioral rehabilitation. Every client gets a custom plan built around their specific dog, their specific life, and their specific goals.
I don't just train dogs — I train handlers. The relationship you build with your dog during this process is as important as any command your dog learns.
How I Work
Honesty
If your dog isn't a good fit for a service dog role, I'll tell you. If the problem is you, I'll tell you that too.
Handler Education
Every program includes handler work. A dog that only performs for the trainer is useless to you.
Custom Plans
No template programs. Your dog's history, temperament, and your goals determine the training roadmap.
