Hi I’m Kristen and this is Indy,
When I first got Indy, I didn't know she'd change my life or my entire career. Indy is a reactive dog. I felt limited by her triggers and frustrated by traditional training approaches. But everything changed when I discovered games-based positive reinforcement training.
With this approach, Indy didn't just learn to tolerate or cope with her triggers she learned how to think through them. Now, I can take her anywhere I want to go because she's confident in her own ability to make good decisions, without me hovering or managing her every move.
That transformation is exactly what I want to help you experience with your dog.
I specialize in helping dog parents with reactive dogs build confidence and calmness through games-based training.
Here's why this method works: when dogs learn through games, they're not following rules out of fear or force-they're choosing calm, engaged behaviour because it's rewarding and fun.
Games teach your dog to use their brain to solve problems, which means they become independent thinkers who make good choices even when you're not managing every moment.
I'm a certified dog trainer (CPDT-KA certified) with extensive training and continued mentorship under certified veterinary behaviourists.
I stay current with the latest behaviour science so you get training methods backed by what actually works. Whether your dog is reactive, anxious, or simply needs more confidence, I'm here to guide you both toward the freedom and joy you deserve.
Let's work together to help your dog and you thrive.
