What I love about my job

Dogs are loyal companions who bring so much joy to our lives. They genuinely want to please us, but they often struggle to understand what we want from them. That’s where I come in! Using effective, dog-friendly training methods, I’ll teach you how to communicate clearly with your dog, creating a more relaxed and enjoyable relationship for both of you. As part of Bark Busters, a trusted global training service for over 30 years, I provide proven techniques and lifetime support to help families achieve lasting results.

Why I became a dog trainer

I found out about Bark Busters during a search to stop my dog Harley from barking incessantly the moment he stepped outside. He was my first dog as a young adult. Today, at home, I share my life with two playful Dachshunds—Norman and Eleanor, a majestic Husky named Heins, and a sweet cat, Sasha. Alongside my wonderful family, we’ve fostered and cared for dozens of dogs with unique needs, creating a harmonious pack. When we’re not training or fostering, we love exploring Northern Ontario’s trails and lakes, enjoying the great outdoors with our dogs—a reminder of the joy that comes from understanding and fulfilling their natural needs.

My areas of expertise include:

• Puppy training
• Separation anxiety in dogs
• Stopping excessive barking
• Dog aggression and aggression toward humans
• Leash training, including leash pulling
• Stopping dogs from jumping on people
• Food aggression in dogs and resource guarding
• Reactive dog training
• General obedience training
• And more…
