Rebecca is a teacher first and a dog trainer second. She believes that in order to have a well-behaved dog, it is the owner who must be taught first. Rebecca thrives on interaction with both people and pets and brings passion and determination to her work. She believes that every dog has potential, no matter the age or breed, and that if it can be done, it can be done using positive methods. Rebecca has been training dogs professionally for 17 years and does not subscribe to the use of force or intimidation. Training is about a bond of trust and love between dog and handler.
Rebecca and her team offer unparalleled, comprehensive support to their students, including digital homework with step-by-step instructions, training videos, and helpful tips and reminders. Besides the training that her clients receive during their sessions, Rebecca also provides unlimited email support to ensure that every person gets more than their money’s worth.

Rebecca is also an Associate Nose Work Instructor (ANWI) with the National Association of Canine Scent Work and is pursuing full certification as a CNWI. She is committed to continuing education, and her passion is working with families to help them channel their dogs’ energy positively.
