About Me

I'm an animal lover and pet owner. I'm comfortable caring for all sorts of dogs including aggressive dogs. I have 4 years of experience working with Happy Paws Dog Training in Portland, and have been running Hooves and Paws for over a year. I also have two of my dogs, Kane is a boxer/pit mix and Ruff-Ruff is a pug. Both are trained, however, Ruff-Ruff is the newer dog and still working on his manners. I do use an E-collar (not a shock collar), but I am also capable of using clickers and whistles. As my business progresses, I will continue adding more content to this webpage, including pictures from client sessions.

About Me

Hi, in 2017 I had a major life change, so with it I switched gears with my career and went with a childhood dream of working with Dogs. I started in dog nutrition, then moved into dog behavior and training. Focusing on puppies and basic obedience. Since then I have moved into behavioral modification, psychiatric service dogs, ADA testing for public access, and scent work and other dog sports for fun, I also volunteer for Guide Dogs for the Blind, (and a few rescues) and I hope this year I get my first puppy to raise for them! Puppies are still by far my favorite! If I am not training or playing with dogs you can find me either crocheting or on some outdoor adventures. I love being outside and have a dream of hiking the PCT one day

About Me

Hi! I am a dog owner and believe that you are your dogs best advocate. I believe in setting our dogs up for success and using training as a fun bonding experience for owner and dog. I am actively learning every day and understand that each dog is unique and requires an individualized approach. I love dog sports and am an avid hiker and camper. Life is just so much more enjoyable when your furry friend can come along on all your adventures and not cause worry or stress.
