Professional Experience

2024-2025

Graduated from Catch Canine Trainers Academy

In January 2025, I graduated from CATCH Canine Trainers Academy, a state-licensed, nationally respected professional dog-trainer program developed by CATCH Director David Muriello, CPDT-KA. The college level curriculum paired self-paced learning with rigorous hands-on mentorship, guided by certified mentors and backed by continuing education approved by the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers. Through this program, I honed comprehensive skills (from puppy development to behavior solutions) and earned my Certified Dog Trainer credential, demonstrating both practical expertise and professional credibility

Freelance Dog Trainer

Kelso, Wa

From 2020 to 2025, I dedicated much of my time to hands-on experience with dogs of all kinds. I trained my own dogs through the AKC Trick Dog levels, worked with friends and clients to address behavior challenges, and provided consistent dog sitting and care for several households. These experiences gave me a strong foundation in practical training and problem-solving with real dogs in everyday situations.
