About

The work started early.

At Bergin University of Canine Studies I learned the unglamorous parts of dog work: vaccinations, whelping litters, and the weight of placing a dog in the right home. Some of those dogs went to veterans. One went to the principal of a school for children with autism after I spoke there. The right dog changes more than the dog’s life.

Police work, then the street.

After university I trained police K9s in scent detection with live narcotics and gun powders. I helped build a scent barn so officers could train in conditions that felt real. I also spent time in the bite suit. It is one thing to talk about protection work. It is another to feel what the dog is doing.

From there I walked dogs in San Francisco. The walks turned into a business. Clients taught me what they actually need: clear communication, reliability, and someone who understands both the dog and the household. I now train in Marin County.

How I can help.

If you already have a dog, I can train the dog you have. The approach depends on the situation. The goal is an off-lead life.

If you are looking for a dog, I will help you find the right one. There are a lot of scams in the dog world. I make the calls and the connections so you get a healthy, well-matched dog from a source that holds up.
