While the majority of my career has been in the capacity of animal care—through dog walking/pet sitting, veterinary technician work, and dog daycare—I have always been enthusiastic about helping dog owners solve problems they are experiencing with their dogs. I generally did this through casual conversations with the client while their dog was in my care. I found that I just could not help or relay the information in the amount needed to have a positive effect without digging deeper into the dog’s home life.

Why In-Home Dog Training?

I had been training in Relationship-Based Behavior Modification and decided to take my training and knowledge into my clients' homes, where I could make real change. The results I have seen in the relationships my clients have with their dogs have been amazing, humbling, and heartwarming. Seeing the happiness and love between a human and their dog once they’re able to understand each other is the best feeling in the world. I’ve also been lucky to make some new friendships along the way!

A Little Bit About Me

When I am not running my dog daycare or practicing in-home behavior modification, I am the mother of two human teenagers and two dogs. I spend my free time out in nature with the dogs, organic gardening, cooking, swimming, skiing, reading, crafting, and sewing. I’m a native of New England (yes, I love snow—sorry!) and have been raising my kids and dogs in Littleton, MA, for 25 years.
