Hearth & Hound Training was created from a simple belief: good dog training should feel safe, clear, and supportive for both ends of the leash.

I’m a dog trainer' with hands on experience working with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and backgrounds including shelter dogs and dogs navigating stress, fear, or big life changes. Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how much dogs thrive when training is rooted in understanding, patience, and trust - not pressure.

My approach is calm, humane, and relationship based. I focus on helped you understand why your dog behaves the way they do and how to communicate in a way that makes sense to them. There’s no one size fits all plan here; every dog and household is different, and training should reflect that.

At Hearth & Hound Training, I work locally and intentionally, taking on a limited number of clients so each dog receives thoughtful, individualized support. Whether you’re raising a new puppy, working through behavior challenges, or simply looking to build a better connection with your dog, my goal is to help create a home that feels steady, respectful, and calm.

Training shouldn’t feel overwhelming or intimidating. It should feel like coming home to the hearth: warm, steady, and built to last.
