Our Story

I have been working with dogs for over 6 years and have 3 dogs of my own. After working in dog rescue and animal advocacy for many years, I decided to go to school to become a professional dog trainer. In May 2014, I graduated from Animal Behavior College as a Certified Positive Reinforcement Dog Trainer, ABCDT. I am Supporting Member of the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC), a Professional Member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT), and stay current and up-to-date in my field by attending seminars and workshops regularly.

I love dogs of all ages, breeds, and size. I am excited to offer group and private dog training sessions in the Syracuse and surrounding areas. So why choose positive reinforcement dog training?

Positive reinforcement dog training focuses on building a positive relationship between you and your dog. It is a relationship built on trust, not on fear. Your dog will build self-confidence and self-control, while you will become a positive and confident leader. Group classes are offered at the following locations- R & B Romp and Play Doggie Daycare 6780 Manlius Center Rd, East Syracuse
