Certifications & Features

The dog training world is unregulated, and there's a lot of misinformation out there. It is therefore of the utmost importance to me that I remain up to date with the latest, science-backed information on how best to help people and their dogs. Part of how I accomplish this is through reputable certification courses and memberships.

Highlighted below are the certification courses I have completed, and Organizations I am a member of.
