I was born in the beautiful state of Hawaii, however, I was raised in St. Louis Missouri, where I discovered my love for the great outdoors. After completing my bachelor's degree at the University of Arkansas, I realized that my true passion lay in understanding and training dog behaviors. While I may not be the renowned Pavlov, my interest in problem behaviors and cultivating a strong bond with our dogs led me to pursue a career in professional dog training. Upon graduating from the Academy for Professional Dog Trainers, I returned to No Leash Needed with newfound expertise in managing dog behaviors and fostering a harmonious relationship between dogs and their owners. So, let's embark on this journey together and create a positive and fulfilling experience for both you and your furry companion.
