About

“Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention,
sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution;
it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.”  ~ William A. Foster

 

I started working with dogs more then 20 years ago, before I even had one to call my own. I’ve been in awe ever since. I wanted to know everything I could about this fascinating species and thus have dug into nearly all ends of the dog world. From nutrition to genetics, dog sports to studying breeds- you name it and it was (and is!) something I had to know more about.

But the one area of these incredible beings that has drawn me in the most was behavior and our connections with them. Thus I have a special interest in why dogs do what they do and how best to help their humans form a deep and meaningful relationship with them; one that will benefit both human and canine.

It is with this passion that I began offering my services for one on one, in-home, Principled Dog Training.
