The 2 types of black Labs. Most Labrador Retrievers we see around are “American” Labs, like Willow, in the first photo. English Labrador Retrievers, like Leo, in the 2nd pic, tend to be sorta chunkier, with a sturdier look than the svelte Americans. Do you see other differences?

Our Story

I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed. This means I did a minimum of 300 hours of dog training and was endorsed by another dog trainer pro, and then passed an exam given by the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, an independent organization. I have to re-certify every three years or lose my certification. For more info on my certification or how to select a dog trainer, please see www.ccpdt.org.

Last year I became a Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer after intensive study. I’m now more qualified than ever to handle separation anxiety cases because I fully understand the disorder, and what’s more, I’ve been there myself: my dog Jabu is an example of how dogs can be helped to resolve this issue. It’s my hope to help as many dogs with this disorder (& their guardians) as I can because I know how difficult it is.

I am an AKC Canine Good Citizen and Star Puppy Evaluator and a Certified Canine Conditioning Coach. I’m also Pet Tech First Aid Certified, and a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers and a member of the Pet Professionals Guild. Continuing my education is a priority that I enjoy by regularly attending industry conferences, seminars and webinars.

Currently, I lead group classes at SmartyPup! in San Francisco’s Sunset neighborhood. I have led group classes at San Francisco’s SPCA, and in Half Moon Bay under my own name. A big part of what I do though is help individuals and families with their dogs on a one-on-one basis on the Coastside and in select parts of San Francisco.
