About Affinity Canine Coaching
Dogs have always been part of my life, from Irish Wolfhounds and Malamutes to Poodles, Terriers, and Boxers.
My dog-training journey began in 1998, when I started working with a breed rescue and learned how much skilled training can strengthen communication, confidence, and the bond between a dog and their person.
Over the past four-plus years, I’ve logged more than 600 hours teaching dogs from 10 weeks to 12 years old through a local obedience club. That experience, combined with continuing education, evaluating dogs for the AKC Canine Good Citizen and Temperament Test programs, and ongoing obedience training with my own dog, informs the individualized coaching I provide through Affinity.
Affinity Canine Coaching provides customized training and practical support to help you and your dog enjoy life with greater confidence and ease.
I am a member of the Association for Professional Dog Trainers and maintain general & professional liability insurance.
