ABOUT THE TRAINER
Certified Dog Trainer/Behaviour Therapist of Canine Correspondence Studies
Dogs have been at the centre of my life for as long as I can remember. What started as a childhood love quickly grew into a deeper passion for understanding canine behaviour and helping dogs and their people thrive together.
In high school, I began volunteering at my local humane society, where I saw firsthand how many wonderful dogs ended up in shelters due to preventable behaviour challenges and lack of proper socialization. That experience stayed with me. In my early 20s, I continued working hands-on with dogs in a busy daycare environment, where my interest in training and behaviour work truly took shape.
Wanting to build a strong, science-based foundation, I enrolled in the Canine Correspondence Studies program and became a certified positive reinforcement dog trainer, as well as a behaviour, fear, and aggression therapist. Since then, I’ve been committed to helping families better understand their dogs and prevent the common struggles that can strain the human–canine relationship.
Through Canines on Track, my goal is simple: to give dog owners the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to raise well-mannered, emotionally healthy dogs. I specialize in positive reinforcement methods that focus on clear communication, trust-building, and creating positive learning experiences for every dog.
Animal welfare is at the heart of everything I do. I believe that fear, pain, and punishment have no place in effective training. Instead, I focus on humane, evidence-based approaches that build confidence, strengthen the bond between dogs and their owners, and set both ends of the leash up for long-term success.
Whether I’m working with a brand-new puppy or helping a family navigate more complex behaviour challenges, my mission is always the same: supportive guidance, practical training, and happy, confident dogs.
THE RESIDENT DOGS
Dahlia is a shepherd/lab mix with a bright, sweet, and playful personality. Sensitive and deeply intuitive, she has taught me so much about meeting dogs where they are and adjusting my training approach to support the individual in front of me. Her unique quirks have played a meaningful role in shaping the trainer I am today.
Always up for an adventure, Dahlia brings enthusiasm and heart to everything she does. Whether we’re out exploring or simply relaxing at home, she is an incredibly loyal and special companion on every journey we take together.
In Loving Memory of Tikka
Tikka was our steady, reliable companion. Intelligent, affectionate, and endlessly friendly, she was always ready to offer her love and had a quiet way of making everything feel a little more grounded and secure just by being nearby. With a nose that was truly unmatched, she was in her element outdoors — especially in the winter.
Tikka will always hold a very special place in both my heart and our family.
