I've been the Owner and Director of Training for K9 Home Schooling since 1999, using force free/clicker training methods in southeast Michigan.   

I'm a nationally recognized Certified Dog Behavior Consultant with the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC).  Dog Behavior Consultants are required to demonstrate competency in seven core areas including  assessment skills, general knowledge and application of learning science, species specific knowledge, consulting skills, knowledge of dog behavior, biological sciences as related to dog behavior and ethics, in order to obtain certification through the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants.  I've completed advanced certification programs in canine behavioral studies and stay current by attending seminars by certified trainers, behaviorists, veterinarians and other credentialed experts. 

I have over 25 years of experience working with puppies and dogs in private and group settings.  

I teach group classes in Chelsea Michigan for puppies and adult dogs.   In January 2024 I stopped taking new clients for Private Training and Behavior Consultations but I will continue to support my K9 Clients.

I've lived in Chelsea, Michigan since 2001 where I raised my family and live with my husband John and Newfoundlands Marshall and Duckie.
