Helping Dogs Thrive with Compassionate Behavior Support

My friend,

I am sorry that you needed to find this page. Not because I don’t want to know you or your story, but quite the opposite. You are probably feeling alone or even scared of your dog. You might be worried about being evicted or about someone getting hurt.

I understand that fear. I have been there myself. My first memories of aggressive dogs are of my brother being bitten by my grandfather’s Dalmatian. Another memory I have is of my black Labrador Retriever, Nitro, coming home with half of his ear missing because a dog had attacked him.

When I was young, there weren’t people I knew about who solved behavior problems in any meaningful way, much less in a humane way. If a dog was a “problem,” they were often euthanized rather than taught how to behave. As I grew up, I promised I would be the help these dogs needed.

Today, that promise is my full-time work as a canine behavior consultant focused on safety, compassion, and evidence-based help. My job is to sit with families in the hardest moments, listen without judgment, and create a clear, practical plan that keeps everyone as safe as possible while giving the dog a fair chance to learn new skills.

If we work together, I will not blame you, your family, or your dog. We will slow things down, look carefully at what your dog is trying to cope with, and change the environment and routines so that biting, lunging, or growling are no longer their only options. You will have someone to text, email, or talk to when things feel like too much, and you will never be asked to do something that feels unsafe or cruel.

Sometimes, the work looks like careful management and training to help a dog stay in their home. Sometimes, it means making heartbreaking but necessary decisions when safety cannot be reasonably maintained. Whatever the outcome, my role is to make sure you are not alone, that you understand your options, and that your dog is treated with dignity every step of the way.

If you are reading this with a knot in your stomach, wondering what comes next, you do not have to figure it out by yourself. When you are ready, reach out and tell me your story. Together, we will take the next step—one that honors both your safety and your dog’s welfare.
