Education and Certifications

"Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all." — Aristotle

Driven by a thirst for knowledge, I believe that continuous education is essential to my growth as both a trainer and educator. True expertise goes beyond theory—it requires hands-on experience and a deep, practical understanding. That’s why I dedicate time and resources each year to learning from some of the world’s most respected and influential dog trainers.

While each of these experts brings their own unique style and methodology, they all share a commitment to honoring the dog-handler relationship through education and respect. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from them and to continuously refine my craft.
