For the past 7 years I've thrown myself head first into the world of dog training. I got my start in the behavior department of a local animal shelter, working with at-risk dogs and teaching them how to be the best versions of themselves so they too could find their forever homes. In spring of 2022 I graduated from The Karen Pryor Academy as a Certified Training Partner and focus on using positive reinforcement and relationship based training methods!My passion is helping dogs and their owners work through a multitude of issues to live peaceful lives together and to keep dogs out of shelters. I offer assistance with leash manners, counter surfing, reactivity, basic obedience, tricks and more. Whether it be private one-on-one in home sessions, day training packages, on-the-town outings, or nature hikes I am here to help you and your dog live your best lives. Please don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to working with you so we can achieve your training goals and cultivate the perfect relationship between you and your dog!I currently service the Louisville Metro area and surrounding counties as well as Southern Indiana. I have three dogs of my own who are all rescues from animal shelters and foster for The Australian Cattle Dog Rescue Association. My personal dogs are active in obedience and have been titled in Barn Hunt, AKC's Canine Good Citizen program, and AKC's Trick Dog program.

Frequently asked questions about dog training
How much does dog training cost?
Dog training costs vary by type and location. Group classes typically run $50–$200 for a multi-week session. Private sessions range from $50–$150 per hour. Board and train programs can cost $500–$2,500+ per week depending on the trainer and length of program.
What dog training methods are most effective?
Positive reinforcement is widely considered the most effective and humane dog training method. It rewards desired behaviors rather than punishing unwanted ones. Look for trainers certified by organizations like CCPDT, IAABC, or Karen Pryor Academy.
How long does dog training take?
Basic obedience typically takes 4–8 weeks of consistent training. Behavior modification for issues like aggression or separation anxiety may take 3–6 months. Every dog learns at their own pace — consistency and practice between sessions are key.
What certifications should a dog trainer have?
Look for trainers certified by CCPDT (Certified Professional Dog Trainer), IAABC (International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants), or the Karen Pryor Academy. These certifications require demonstrated knowledge and adherence to humane training standards.
