Welcoming a new puppy is an exciting adventure—but let’s be honest, it can also feel a little overwhelming. With so much conflicting advice out there, it’s easy to feel unsure about where to begin.

That’s where I come in.

With hands-on experience raising my own high-energy pup alongside two toddlers, plus fostering and training  rescue puppies, I know the challenges of juggling puppyhood with real life. My background as a former elementary teacher helps me break down training into clear, simple steps that work for both kids and adults alike.

I truly believe it’s easier to create good habits early than to undo bad ones later. That’s why my goal is to give you the tools to get ahead of unwanted behavior—before it starts.

Each 1:1 coaching session is tailored to your puppy’s age, temperament, and your family’s lifestyle, so you get advice that’s practical, effective, and easy to follow.

Here’s what you and your puppy will gain from training with me:

• Learn effective and positive potty training strategies
