Hi, my name is Bethany. I am a Certified Canine Behavior Consultant (CBCC-KA) and Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA)

I specialize in helping reactive and aggressive dogs live less stressful and more fulfilling lives with their owners. Using science based positive reinforcement techniques I help your dog feel calmer in stressful situations and make better choices

I’ve been working with dogs for over five years, but my journey started when I adopted a senior dog with behavioral challenges. He sparked my fascination with dog body language and the science behind canine behavior. That passion led me to earn a degree in anthrozoology—the study of human-animal relationships—which deepened my understanding of how behavior and learning work across all species.

Since adopting that first challenging dog I’ve always made room in my home for dogs with behavior needs. I currently share my house with 3 dogs including Sully - a dog reactive terrier mix with separation anxiety and a fear of strangers. He keeps me grounded in the daily realities of living with a reactive dog, inspires my training, and brings me joy every day.

I love helping people and their dogs live better lives together. You are not alone in this journey and I look forward to working with you and your dog!

“In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semi-human. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog.”
