How It All Started

My journey into dog training started with a simple goal: to offer something different—something more holistic and relationship-focused than what most people are used to. I was tired of seeing training methods that didn’t put the dog-owner relationship front and center. So, I decided to do things my way. For me, it’s all about finding what’s fun and effective for both the dog and the family. There’s nothing better than watching a client realize that they can train their dog and have a blast doing it.

What Mugs N Mutts Stands For

At Mugs N Mutts, the name of the game is communication and relationship-building. I know how frustrating it can be when you’re doing all the things—snuffle mats, Kongs, running miles—and your dog is still bouncing off the walls. My approach is about cutting through that frustration and finding a way to make life easier and more enjoyable for both of you. I believe that with the right tools and a bit of patience, you can have a calm, confident, and happy dog who’s a joy to be around.

What We Do

I offer personalized, in-home training sessions that fit right into your daily routine. My mission is to help you and your dog get on the same page—whether that means tackling reactivity, mastering the basics, or just making life a little smoother. And the best part? I’m with you for the long haul. Even after our sessions wrap up, I’m here as your go-to resource for any questions or support you might need.

A Little About Me

Here’s the deal: I’m not your typical, super-strict trainer. I like to keep things light, fun, and real. I’m a huge fan of coffee (which totally influenced the name Mugs N Mutts), and I’m all about making training sessions feel like a conversation with a friend. You might even hear me drop a “f*** yeah!” when your dog nails a command because, honestly, that’s how excited I get when you and your dog succeed.
