Hi! I'm Monica. I am passionate about delivering the most ethical, up to date, science based training methods , placing welfare and problem resolution as top priorities for the families and dogs that I work with. I use a combination of enrichment , management, appropriate physical outlets, and positive reinforcement training to create a more enjoyable life for YOU and your dog. Following 25 years of fostering dogs and several years running a state licensed quarantine, pursuing independent study of ethology, learning theory , and body language, I saw a great need for more ethical, science based training practices. I pursued and obtained formal certification through Karen Pryor Academy and opened my business to spread the message of positive reinforcement training and improve the welfare of dogs and their humans.
