Your Instructor
I have had a lifelong love of dogs and began my training journey in the shelter and rescue system working with some of the most unfortunate cases in the Baltimore area.
Over the past few years, I have searched for opportunities to learn from the best in the business, attending conferences, seminars, and other training opportunities with amazing trainers from around the country. Fast forward and today, through Baltimore Dogworks, I am seeking to provide high quality, results based training as the foundation of communication, emotional stability, and the relationship between my clients and their companions. Additionally, my involvement with rescue organizations continues as I am committed to providing free training opportunities for dogs in foster care.
I live in Baltimore with my three dogs Marc, Czar, and Anja. I am a member of the Verein Deutsch-Drahthaar Group North America, North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association, International Association of Canine Professionals, an approved AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, approved UKC Socialized Pet Obedience Test Evaluator, and certified in Dog First Aid through the American Red Cross. I look forward to helping you build an ideal relationship with your dog and bringing out the best in them!
