Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love.
It will not lead you astray.  Rumi (1207 - 1273)
After a lifelong love affair with dogs, a long-held dream of becoming a professional dog trainer came true in December 2014 when I graduated with distinction from the Karen Pryor Academy for Animal Training & Behavior as a Certified Training Partner (KPA-CTP). The Karen Pryor Academy uses force-free principles and techniques and is based on the science of positive reinforcement and clicker training.  My graduation followed many years of extensive reading and continuing education. I keep up-to-date on the latest research and techniques in the dog training field.

In March 2018 I was granted the credential, Certified Professional Dog Trainer - Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA) by the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, an independent certifying organization for the dog training profession.

I am also certified in small animal massage through the Northwest School of Animal Massage and in canine first aid through Dogsafe.

I live in a small house at the edge of the forest on Okeover Inlet, north of Powell River, BC, with my dogs, Sophie and TT.
