I’m a former professional dog musher and current owner of a training business in Seattle, Washington. I’ve worked with thousands of dogs over the last 20 years and hope to share my passion with you. Everything I do with dogs exists in nature, meaning that I don’t teach anything that dogs don’t do naturally. We don’t need to TEACH dogs how to be dogs, they already know, but sometimes they need a little help remembering. Turns out, we often need help remembering who we are too, and dogs are the perfect tool to guide us there. What’s good for the dog is good for the human.
