 As a  small business owner with over 30+ years in the service industry & small business arena, I feel very fortunate for the many opportunities that have been presented to me to learn & grow in the private business sector. I define a successful & positive client experience as giving my clients the desired outcomes they are looking for. This is, & continues to be, my #1 priority.

In 2013 I retired from a family owned business & opened Fur Their Comfort Pet Care specializing in providing personalized  care & dog walking services for busy pet parents.

My true passion is working with animals & their humans. Following my desire to pursue that passion while continuing to work at Fur Their Comfort Pet Care, I started my formal education in professional dog training. In 2014 I achieved my first certification, Dog Trainer Foundation Skills through the Karen Pryor Academy.

I achieved my second certification, the Dog Trainer program in 2020, (Karen Pryor Academy), and I began my journey of providing professional dog training & behavior consulting to clients in 2021.

In 2021 I received my third certification  with the Karen Pryor Academy, & became a Puppy Start Right Instructor.

As a positive reinforcement trainer, I strive to consistently deliver a quality service. This service  provides  real & measurable results through good old fashioned hard work, (but fun-I promise!), clear communication, & a collaborative approach with my clients & their pets. Through positive reinforcement training, your dog learns how to make a positive connection with you...without ever having the need to utilize force & intimidation. My clients will be given the tools they need to build a solid foundation with their pets all based on mutual love, trust, & companionship.

Whether you need a couch on your dog training journey, or personalized boarding for your pet, it is my absolute pleasure to assist you!

My Philosophy

"Dogs are incredibly important members of our family. The invaluable gifts of love and companionship they so selflessly give  enrich our own life experience. It's my goal to honor that by providing your furry family member with the best  training opportunities ..and private pet care, that will help them  live their best life...right by your side."
