As a passionate animal lover and experienced dog trainer, I’m proud to wear many hats. As the founder of Straight Up Dog Training and host of the Straight Up Dog Talk Podcast, my mission is to empower dog parents and enthusiasts with the knowledge, tools, and inspiration they need to build strong, loving bonds with their dogs.
What I love most about my work is witnessing transformation—helping pet parents turn frustration into confidence and seeing dogs thrive as happy, well-adjusted companions. Every success story, big or small, fuels my passion and reminds me why I do what I do.
Through my career, I’ve had the honor of supporting countless pet parents in overcoming behavioral challenges, developing play-focused, compassionate training programs, and creating a safe space where real conversations about dog care happen. From celebrating small wins to tackling complex topics, my goal is to foster a community that champions the human-canine connection.
Every dog deserves a life filled with love, respect, and kindness, and I’m here to help make that a reality—one training session, podcast episode, and story at a time.
