As the owner and head dog trainer at The Noble Dog Trainer, my journey into dog training began with a deeply personal experience. Noble, my pandemic puppy, exhibited signs of reactivity and aggression at just 12 weeks old. This prompted me to delve into the intricate world of dog behavior, genetics, ethical breeding practices, and optimizing a dog's life based on their unique genetic predispositions.

Understanding Noble's challenges propelled me to immerse myself studying dog behavior, shadowing local trainers, continuing on with educational memberships/mentorships from accomplished trainers such as Michael Ellis, Leerburg Academy, Sean O’Shea at The Good Dog, and more; giving me a deep understanding of training methodologies. I saw the impact that a balanced approach to training could have on addressing behavioral issues and fostering a strong relationship between dogs and their owners.

While working and training my own dog, friends started asking me to help them with their dogs. At the time I was working remotely as a full time executive assistant at a tech company. I have always enjoyed helping others and adding the element of working with dogs grew this passion into a part time hobby.
