01
The Beginning of a Lifelong Bond
My love for dogs started early — literally in the crib. Our family’s oldest dog, Sow Belly, took it upon herself to watch over me. She was one of seven dogs I grew up with, each one shaping my bond with animals. It wasn’t official training, but they all listened — and if I wasn’t around, they made sure everyone knew it. That early connection set the tone for everything that followed.

Hands-On Experience & Mentorship
As a kid and into my teens, I spent time at the kennel where my grandfather got his basset hounds. That’s where I really started learning how to handle dogs — especially hunting breeds like hounds and GSPs. I also tagged along on hunting trips, gaining hands-on experience and seeing purpose-driven behavior in action.

Stepping into Professional Training
While contracted by the military, I worked with a whole new kind of working dog — an experience that led me to Hawaii. There, I raised and sold my first protection dog, which sparked a deeper interest in behavior and training. I dove into learning theory and read don’t shoot the dog by Karen Pryor, graduated from a well known clicker academy, and got my first pro training job at Petco, eventually becoming a regional trainer. I later attended Starmark Academy and completed the NePoPo® Silver program to further sharpen my skills.

Building a Career with Purpose
Since then, I’ve trained protection dogs at Ruidoso Malinois, graduated from the Deadpool Decoy School, and earned certifications as an AKC evaluator and member of the IACP. I’ve built a reputation as the trainer people call when nothing else has worked — even other trainers have booked sessions with me. But titles aside, what matters most is helping you and your dog find real results.

A Life Devoted to Dogs
Great training should be fun, fair, and effective. It’s not just about obedience — it’s about understanding. And when it’s done right, it speaks for itself. My mission is simple: help dogs and their people live better lives together.
