Over the last 15 years, I’ve had the joy of guiding dogs and their people on many new paths. I’ve taught group lessons, private lessons, worked with day trainers, hosted play groups and enjoyed bonding with my board and train students. I’ve gained invaluable knowledge and hands on experience that you just can’t learn in a classroom.
Part of doing what I love is breeding a select few litters of AKC, health tested, well bred and responsibly bred Golden Retrievers. This is my passion project with my best friend, and fellow trainer, Danielle Thompson. Check out https://gritgraceandgolden.com/ for more information.
What started as a part time hobby, has grown into my full time PASSION. I've learned to treat each dog and family as it's own unique relationship and to adapt accordingly. With clarity, fairness, and reward it's a joy to watch those relationships bloom into what they were just waiting to become.
Training is not just knowledge and passion. It is determination and perseverance. Repetition is key. You HAVE to put in the time. You have to put in the hard WORK. If you want something to be different, start making that change TOMORROW. Let me help you change your course.
