All my life, I’ve been curious about dogs. I rarely saw a “pet” dog until I left Ethiopia at the age of 17 to pursue my dreams as a circus performer (yes, you read that right!). After working in circuses around the world, it came time to retire, and after decades of helping to train the kids at my circus school (and beyond), dog training was a natural fit.

Beginning my training career at PetSmart, I specialized in training puppies on household manners and basic obedience. From there, I specialized in working with fearful / aggressive dogs adopted from the streets of Mexico. In 2024, I attended Conifer Canine’s Dog Trainer College, an intensive professional program that prepared me to tackle any behavior challenge with a wide range of tools.

Today, I’m well-equipped to help you and your pet improve communication, learn new skills, and co-exist in a way that promotes a happy, healthy life. I would love to hear from you and see how I can help!
