I'm a lifelong animal lover who grew up in SoCal and now loves calling the PNW home. Today, I help dogs and their humans discover new ways to connect through communication, understanding, and enrichment.

At This Dog Here, I believe every great training journey starts with the dog in front of you. Every dog is an individual, with their own personality, experiences, and needs. By understanding who our dogs are and how they learn, we open up new possibilities for the life we share with them.

Training is about more than teaching skills. It's about building confidence, strengthening communication, and discovering new ways to enjoy life together. Whether you're working toward a goal, navigating a challenge, or simply curious about what you and your dog can learn together, we'll find an approach that works for both of you.

I've spent the past nine years learning and working hands-on with dogs. I continue to grow my knowledge as I work toward my CPDT-KA certification, and I'm also passionate about animal welfare through fostering with WOOF Project and volunteering at our local shelter.

Through personalized training and enrichment, I help dogs and their humans build skills, confidence, and connection in ways that work for them. My approach is rooted in communication, understanding, and trust. We'll start with this dog, right here, and discover what's possible together.

I'm fully insured and committed to providing thoughtful, responsible care for you and your dog. I can't wait to see what you discover together!
