About Me

My wife and I hadn't planned on having dogs (yet)--we were living in an RV and building our home when our pack found us in one's and two's.

We both grew up with dogs, but we were unprepared to deal with the challenges presented by our pups (neither of us had ever even heard of littermate syndrome). When we reached out to several dog trainers, we either did not hear back or were quoted an exorbitant amount.

So, I resigned from my position in finance and devoted my time to working with my pack and reading, watching and listening to all the dog training content I could get my paws on. Thankfully, the efforts paid off.

Now I am helping others with their canine conundrums!


I began volunteering at the Arf-anage dog rescue with the hopes that they might take in the next puppy I find under a creosote, but quickly fell in love with the animals and handful of saints working there. Please let me know if you are in need of a new companion so that I may help put you in touch with this wonderful organization!

When I am not helping a client with their pack or taking an Arf-an into town for a training session and some socialization, you might find me at a Jay Pages open mat.
