About Me

I have always been passionate about working with dogs. Right after high school, I began volunteering at an animal hospital, which led to a five-year role as a veterinary assistant. While working, I attended college part-time and volunteered at Beardsley Zoo in Connecticut. Though my career initially took a different path —I never lost my dedication to animal welfare. I continued volunteering at shelters and fostering numerous dogs, and I currently serve as a behavior consultant for CARE and SAYv Animal Organization.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I started training dogs for friends and neighbors and quickly realized it was my true calling. My love for animals influences every aspect of my life, and I’ve been vegan for over nine years.

I’ve been happily married to my husband, Steve Davis, for 11 years, and together we share our home with three amazing rescue dogs who not only keep me on my toes but also serve as excellent demo dogs.

My professional credentials include certifications in:

• The Academy for Dog Trainers with Jean Donaldson—an intensive, two-year behavior and training program, often referred to as the “The Harvard School of Dog Training.”

• Fear Free Certified Leaders in animal wellbeing.

• Aggressive Dog Master Course with world-renowned aggression expert Michael Shikashio

• Enrichment Framework for Behavior Modification Master Class with Emily Strong and Allie Bender

• Dog Trainer Foundations Immersion through the Karen Pryor Academy

• Pet CPR & First Aid certified through PetTech CPR, First Aid & Care for Your Pets

I am committed to using ethical, evidence-based training methods rooted in science and positive reinforcement. My approach prioritizes each dog’s emotional well-being while creating effective, individualized training plans. Every dog is unique, and my goal is to provide compassionate, results-driven solutions tailored to their needs.
