At Awakening K-9, training isn't just a profession-it's a passion. My journey began with a deep love for dogs and a fascination with their behavior. I trained at a respected school in Bonsall, CA and earned my certification through the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT). One of my biggest teachers has been my own Belgian Malinois, who's challenged me to grow and deepen my understanding of dog behavior and communication. Living and training with him has taught me the value of patience, consistency, and trust.
I use a balanced, results-driven approach tailored to each dog's unique needs-whether it's obedience, behavior modification, or advanced off-leash work. My mission is to not only train dogs, but to help owners build strong, lasting bonds with their companions.
