About me

Owner / Trainer / K9 Handler at Little Mountain K9 At Little Mountain K9, we believe in Relationship Reinforced Training—building trust, consistency, and teamwork between handler and dog for lasting success.

As a former endurance triathlete, I understand that a solid, consistent training plan is the foundation of achievement. Whether in sport or dog training, perseverance is key. I live by the philosophy: "Don't stop when you're tired, stop when you're done." Our Dogs deserve the effort from us, to put the needed work in.

My training background spans:

  • Dog Behavior & Rehabilitation

  • Schutzhund & AKC Tracking

  • Scent Detection & Article Indication

  • Search & Rescue (SAR) Trailing/Tracking

  • Obedience & Behavioral Development

  • AKC CGC, STAR Puppy, Trick Dog Evaluation

With a deep dedication to canine education and strengthening the human-dog bond, I strive to create training programs that empower dogs and their handlers to reach their highest potential.
