I was born and raised on Vancouver Island, where I grew up in a small First Nations community. My upbringing instilled in me a deep connection to nature and a passion for outdoor activities, including hunting, fishing, and spending quality time outdoors. My journey into the world of dogs began when I moved to Victoria to pursue a degree in psychology right after high school. During this time, I we
lcomed my own furry companion into my life, setting the stage for my exploration into dog training and breeding. Over the years, my love for dogs led me to attend numerous seminars, classes, and groups, with a particular focus on dog training, including the challenging discipline of Schutzhund. What started with one dog soon grew into a pair, and then into a family of puppies. It was during this time that I received invaluable guidance and support from an incredible mentor, Judy P, who had been breeding Rottweilers for over a decade. Judy taught me the art of safely delivering, nurturing, weaning, and raising puppies. This newfound knowledge quickly developed into a passion of its own, and I felt a deep desire to share my wonderful dogs with the world in a responsible and caring manner. Over the next four years, I built strong relationships with remarkable dog owners who had adopted puppies from me. I made it a point to offer ongoing assistance with training and behavioral issues, recognizing how crucial it is for families to have well-behaved and happy dogs. From personal experience, I understand the challenges that can arise when dealing with untrained dogs, especially those of protective breeds. With years of hands-on experience, countless stories of expensive bills, bad advice, and unsuccessful training sessions with subpar trainers, I decided to expand my services beyond the families who adopted my puppies. I've heard too many stories of trainers charging exorbitant fees without delivering results or even exacerbating behavioral issues. This compelled me to create a crash course in understanding how dogs think and how we can shape their behavior to align with our needs. I understand the profound importance of our four-legged companions and how challenging life can be when serious behavioral issues stand in the way of joyful companionship. My goal is to provide you with the knowledge and tools to have the best possible relationship with your furry friends. I genuinely want you to experience the utmost joy and fulfillment with your beloved dogs, and I'm here to help you achieve that goal.
