Emerald Dog Training
I am 100% transparent, honest, and when it comes to my board and train program, I only take on two dogs per month to make sure my clients get the optimal training for their dollar. Their dog will receive many hours of one on one time with me, and when they're ready, around other dogs and people to help generalize their commands.

What do you love most about your job?
As cliché as it is, it's the dogs and watching their confidence grow, the human and dog relationship grow stronger, and witnessing the dog and handler's world grow.
I believe people have forgotten our ancestors forged a symbolic relationship with wolves, the foundation of our relationship with the domestic dog. Dogs are underestimated and never really given opportunities to achieve their maximum potential during these modern times. I enjoy challenging that and changing it.
What inspired you to start your own business?
In 2011, I found my calling in dog training when I set out to help my brother's Doberman, Jixxer, overcome his fear-aggression and sever dog aggression. This lead me to learn about Starmark Academy, behavior modification, and I've been on this path since then.
Why should our clients choose you?
I'm honest, transparent, and I care greatly not just for your dog but for you and your relationship with your dog. I never take on anything that I'm not confident I can handle and I will do my best to connect with a trainer I think can be of more assistance.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I prefer in-person because when it comes to dog training, it's very contextual and the tiniest change can make a big difference in a dog's behavior and their relationship with their person. Also, it's important to generalize commands since dogs struggle with this and that requires proper field trips.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I am vaccinated and soon to get my booster. I wear two masks and train outside, to ensure proper coverage and air flow.
