Over the years, I’ve created and taught dog training approaches, frameworks, programs and curriculums as well as lectured on canine behaviour. Additionally, I’ve coached and consulted on nutrition, supplementation and the connection between food and behaviour. 

Throughout it all, I’ve always been inspired by the grassroots passing of knowledge and information that happens in our canine community. And so I’ve decided to do the same. I have knowledge, and I’m happy to share it.
