I Think Board And Trains Are Scamming You and Your Dog...Thats Just My Honest Opinion But Here's Why It Should Matter.
South Bay Born And Raised
I grew up in Manhattan Beach, California, where the sand and sea were just part of
everyday life. On paper, my family had it all. But there was one thing missing for me personally,
a dog.
Every Christmas, I’d hand my dad clippings of dogs who needed homes, hoping this
would finally be the year. The puppy never came. By nine years
old, I was walking, feeding, and celebrating the birthdays of nearly every dog on my
block and running what was basically my own pet-sitting business.
That love turned into a calling almost by accident.
The day after I graduated high school, I started working at a
small dog daycare in El Segundo called Grateful Dogs Clubhouse. It changed the entire
direction of my life. I was there constantly, staying overnight with boarding dogs,
spending Christmas Eve curled up with animals who weren’t mine but felt like it. I still
didn’t have a dog of my own.
Until one day, a coworker suggested we visit the Carson animal
shelter “just to look.”
I found Shorty
After ten years of asking, I
finally had my first dog. A year later, she helped me become a certified professional dog
trainer at nineteen years old.
And after all these years as a Professional Dog Trainer,
I've Learned One Thing...
What followed was over a decade of chasing this work as far as it would take me.
from veterinary assistance to watching well-meaning, “positive-only” training programs fail dog after dog.
I
have
seen
it
all.
And I have to tell you
You should not trust just anyone with your dog.
After watching a reading about the horror stories of this industry play out and see every day owners lose their trust, lose their DOGS to incompetent trainers and facilities. I knew I was done.
Dog Training if you really love the dogs, will come with transparency.
Training rooted in clear communication, real boundaries, and
genuine compassion, not ideology or "do this, don't do that" every dog is different. And every pet parent deserves to truly know what they are investing in.
This is why I created a program that reverses the traditional board-and-train model entirely.
Right Here at Home.
Instead of sending your dog away to an unfamiliar facility for weeks, hoping for the best,
I bring focused, expert training directly to your home into the real environments your
dog actually lives in.
You’re never left wondering what’s happening behind closed doors,
because you’re part of it, every single day.
Real communication. Real social exposure.
Real-world behavior work. All personalized around your dog, your goals, and your life —
not a one-size-fits-all curriculum.
Every family I work with gets the same level of care, respect, and attention I’d want for
my own dogs. That’s not a tagline. It’s the standard I built after seeing what happens
when it’s missing.
Spaces are intentionally limited each month, because this level of care simply can’t be
rushed or mass-produced.

I personally will expose and work with your dog for 2 hours working through problems, social exposure and personal goals

In My Program, Training Doesn't Stop.
You are not left on your own with a jumble of basic cues to try with your dog and when something goes wrong you have to book a 'refresher' camp for another astronomical amount of money.
