Professional Background

My career has been defined by a deep, lifelong commitment to canine welfare and training. I have extensive

experience owning, working with, training, and caring for dogs across a wide range of professional settings.

My journey began in my early twenties at a local animal shelter, where I eventually advanced to the role of

veterinary technician. Over six years, I provided care for sick, injured, and homeless animals of all kinds. I then

transitioned to a position as an Animal Control Officer, where my responsibilities included managing public

safety situations involving animals, investigating cases of cruelty and aggression, and enforcing state and local

animal codes.

After six years in animal control, I pursued a career in law enforcement, serving as a K9 officer for several agencies for 15 years. During this time, I trained and worked police dogs in a variety of

disciplines, including tracking, detection, obedience, and apprehension.

Upon leaving law enforcement, my husband and I founded Colorado's first tracking dog training school.

Today, my focus is on supporting pet owners in training their dogs and resolving behavior challenges. I provide

coaching in basic obedience, rehabilitation for fearful dogs, resolving aggression issues, and education on

canine learning principles.

I am dedicated to remaining current with evolving training methodologies. I have trained extensively throughout

the United States and Europe, learning from a variety of leading professionals and institutions. I hold certifications in

obedience training, aggression issues, and fear rehabilitation.

Through my programs, I help dogs and their owners develop skills that build confidence, enhance

communication, and strengthen the human-canine bond.

**I look forward to working with you.**
