MEET YOUR NEW
DOG TRAINER

Calm. Consistent. Leadership

Looking for a calm, knowledgeable, and trusted dog trainer? You’re in the right place. At Peaceful Pups Dog Training, I help dog owners like you build lasting, respectful relationships with their dogs—rooted in structure, trust, and clear communication. Whether you're raising a new puppy, working through behavioral challenges, or just want a more peaceful home environment, I’m here to guide you with experience, empathy, and a personalized approach.

My journey with dogs began early. At just 10 years old, I started showing Toy Fox Terriers in conformation competitions. That experience opened the door to a lifelong passion for working with animals and understanding their unique personalities and needs.

By the time I was 16, I was volunteering at Helen Woodward Animal Center, handling hundreds of different dogs and learning first-hand how calm, consistent leadership can completely change a dog’s behavior. Since then, I’ve worked as a certified dog trainer, mobile groomer, and pet care provider. I’ve trained dogs through Wag!, graduated from Pro-Train Dog Training School in Vista, and earned certification through the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP). Most recently, I became an AKC Approved Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Evaluator, allowing me to assess and certify dogs in foundational obedience and good manners.

My work extends beyond just dogs—I’ve also cared for horses, birds, chickens, and even parrots—which has helped me develop a well-rounded understanding of animal behavior and emotional needs.

With over 15 years of experience, I now bring everything I’ve learned to dog owners across San Diego. My goal? To help you create a peaceful, respectful, and balanced relationship with your dog—no gimmicks, no shortcuts, just calm and consistent guidance that works.

Peaceful Pups Dog Training was founded to help San Diego dog owners create calmer, more connected relationships with their pets. I offer a personalized, professional approach that blends years of hands-on experience with a genuine passion for dogs—and for helping the people who love them.

I know that every dog is different. That’s why my training is never one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re welcoming a new puppy, managing challenging behaviors, or simply looking to establish better structure at home, I’ll work with you to build a training plan that fits your lifestyle, your goals, and your dog’s unique needs.

At the heart of Peaceful Pups is a simple belief: when you train with compassion, structure, and consistency, amazing things happen—not just with your dog, but with the entire dynamic in your home. My role is to help guide that transformation with empathy, honesty, and real-world results.

My approach to dog training is built on three core principles: calmness, consistency, and leadership.

Dogs thrive when they understand what’s expected of them. They crave structure, and they feel most secure when they know someone is confidently guiding them. That’s where you come in—and where I can help.

I don’t believe in harsh methods or quick fixes. Instead, I focus on teaching you how to communicate clearly with your dog, set healthy boundaries, and guide them toward better choices. While I do use training tools when appropriate, the most powerful tool in any program is you—your energy, your clarity, and your follow-through.

Accountability is also part of the process. I believe that fair, ethical corrections can play an important role in helping your dog understand boundaries and expectations. But those corrections always come from a place of calm leadership—not frustration or fear.
