About Us

At Training Through Life, we are passionate about providing a holistic approach to dog training through positive reinforcement, enrichment, and lifestyle changes. We value education and believe as trainers we should constantly be learning and bettering our skills. We are an Accredited Dog Trainer through the IAABC and a Fear Free Certified Professional. We don’t just focus on changing behavior, we work on changing the emotion behind the problematic behavior to help your dog live a happier and healthier life.

  • I have worked in the education, training, and behavior of animals professionally for over 15 years. Working with a wide variety of animals such as rabbits, cats, dogs, and horses. Many years ago, my interest focused on training dogs. I was able to learn from over a dozen different trainers. Some, who specialized in; service work, behavior, anxiety, and more.
