Cancellation/Rescheduling/NO SHOW Policy
Effective January 29/22
The time has come to implement a better business solution for last minute cancellations and rescheduling requests. While I understand that things pop up at the last minute, this is a big part of my livelihood and these spots could have easily been filled by others as I’m booked solid for 5 to 6 weeks. That said, it’s not always easy
to scramble and fill that spot at the last moment and this takes time away from working with other dogs and of course, my family time. Therefore, moving forward, in order to get on my schedule a non-refundable booking fee will be required up front by etransfer to confirm your spot(s). The amount will be half of your first lesson fee (based on location, so it could be between $45 - $60). This fee will carry forward to your last lesson and be deducted from that lesson. Additionally, if you fail to complete the lessons as planned, the booking fee will not be returned. I appreciate as always, the incredible support from my clients, family and friends!

Sharing this video from 10 years ago when Dottie and I attended our first intermediate class. It is important to know that Dottie barely passed her beginner class as she couldn't stay to save her life. I didn't give up on her and we practiced like crazy! As you can see, it paid off as she was the only dog that didn't need any corrections! These were the same dogs that scored higher than her in the beginner class. The moral of my share is two fold, 1) don't give up, keep working on it 2) don't stop practicing just because your classes finished, they will forget!

This is a BIG announcement!
I'm heading back into the OR and having my knee replaced on May 14th.
For those that have been with me for a while you likely remember my bad fall 4 years ago. For those new to FMD, I broke my knee in a spectacular fashion from that fall and we knew this day would be coming!!
What this means is that I'm closing all new intakes for at least 4 to 6 months so that I have time to prepare and recover from my surgery.
(Don't worry, if you are in the middle of lessons right now, we'll have plenty of time to get them finished!
Thank you for your patience and I look forward to working with you and your pups in the fall!

Logan is fresh off of boot camp and it's never a bad thing to continue on with me so we can keep the momentum going! One thing we have learned is that every trainer does things a little differently. Including me, even though Catherine from is the one who trained me! So we discussed the discrepancies and I explained the WHY of how I do things. From there, my clients can make a choice based on what will likely work best for them. And I will almost always support my clients in their decision because my way is not the only way or even the better way, it just works for me (and my clients!)

I have such strong support from my clients and I'm so grateful. My headaches have been greatly intensified as I'm anemic and have been not so patiently waiting for my next iron infusion. When my iron gets this low, it effects me physically in ways I hope no one would have to experience. So thank you once and all!!

A Dog Trainer? Me? Why not!
My journey to becoming a dog trainer is quite simple, because it started with becoming a dog owner myself!
In 2014, I adopted my first of two dogs from Taiwan, Dottie and adopted Tiana the following year in 2015. With no idea what I was doing, I attended beginner, intermediate and advanced classes with both dogs, learning and making mistakes along the way. I began reading books and watching training videos online to better myself as a dog owner, and to help my dogs succeed.
As I became more confident, I found myself easily answering questions for other dog owners, and providing tips that worked for me, to help improve their relationship with their pups. This felt so amazing, and I loved helping other dog lovers.
At that point, I asked my dog trainer about the process to becoming a dog trainer myself. And as simple as that, she took me under her wing as an apprentice. Not only did this allow me to gain incredible knowledge and experience, but it also allowed me to develop my own techniques and learn what works for different dogs and owners. By the end of my apprenticeship, I was teaching classes on my own! It all felt so natural, almost as if I was meant to do this!
I started FMD Training in August 2017 to help dog owners, just like me, learn to build and embrace a relationship with their dog(s). My training services have become a huge part of me, and nothing brings me more joy or satisfaction than watching you and your dog have those "Aha" moments!
