MY STORY.
Born in a small, rural town of Big Bear, California, I grew up with many animals. I enjoyed my days riding our 3 horses, hiking with our 3 dogs, lounging with my cat, or gathering fresh eggs from the chickens! Throughout my life, my passion for animals has always remained. I have built a career centered on my passion, with animals and humans. I studied animal behavior and graduated with honors from Animal Behavior College. During my program I mentored with local trainers to further my knowledge and training skills. I also volunteer at local animal shelters to help rehabilitate animals for adoption. I am a member of APDT and previously worked at a local veterinary hospital.

Students know that while it is important to understand the motivations behind a dog's behavior, exceptional obedience instructors must have a myriad of behavioral solutions at their disposal; ABC provides many methods to help owners train their pets. ABC trainers are balanced in their training techniques. We use positive methods, no reward markers and negative punishment. ABC trainers teach new behaviors through luring, shaping, capturing or molding.
ABC's Training Philosophy follows the scientific behavioral principles of operant conditioning and involves using the least aversive approach possible in every training case.
