About Us

I have been working with dogs in many different settings for over 15 years. That included shelter work, fostering dogs, managing a large daycare/ boarding kennel and working as a head trainer for another dog training company. I have been training dogs for over 10 years, which has given me many years of hands on experience, but I still love to continue my education in the field. I am a professional member of the International Association of Canine Professionals, a Canine Good Citizen and trick dog evaluator and pet CPR certified. When I am not working with dogs and their owners you will find me hiking, exploring, training and competing in dog sports with my own dogs. My husband and I live in Stonington with our beautiful daughter, 3 dogs, 4 sphynx cats and chickens.

​

Bullet is our 2 year old field bred Labrador. He loves hiking, competing in sports and bird hunting. He got his Canine Good Citizen title and Trick Dog title at 6 months old. He got his master dock dive title and BCAT fastcat title at 1 year old. At 2 years old Bullet got his Advanced Canine Good Citizen title. Bullet is the fun guy that is always down for anything. Every person or dog wants to be his friend.

Brea is our 6 year old chihuahua that loves hiking and has competed in barn hunt. She has a very calm demeanor around dogs that makes them feel comfortable. She keeps up with the big dogs and is one of the sweetest dogs you'll ever meet. 

Lilah is our 10 year old pitbull that loves hiking, scent work and has competed in barn hunt. She has helped raise many puppies and thinks of herself as the queen. She is very good at correcting dogs properly when they need it. She also used to do therapy work in her younger years.

Baldwin, Archibald, Scarlett No'Hara and Lucille Bald are our 4 sphynx. The boys are 4 and the girls are 2 years old. They love to cuddle under a blanket or sunbathe. All of our cats are very dog savvy and love to help out with training sessions.

We have 10 chickens on our property that love to help out with training sessions. The are great distractions especially  for the dogs with high prey drive!
