About Us

At Lead With Love Dog Training, our mission is to provide compassionate dog training that helps dogs and their people build lasting relationships through balanced, holistic pet training. We teach dogs how to think—not just obey—using play, trust, and motivation to create calm, confident companions and empowered owners ready for whatever life throws at them with our tailored training programs.

I didn’t start Lead With Love just because I enjoy training dogs. I started it because of what my own dogs taught me: that the best training doesn’t come from control—it comes from connection. Everything I do is rooted in that belief and is guided by compassionate dog training principles. I’ve worked with puppies, rescues, confident dogs, and fearful dogs—and I’ve seen again and again that lasting change happens when trust comes first. I teach people how to really understand their dogs and help them learn how to think, not just follow, through holistic pet training methods. Because at the end of the day, it’s not about perfect obedience—it’s about a relationship you can count on, even when things get messy. I’ve raised puppies, worked with anxious rescues, and stood in front of classes full of dogs and their owners, all with the desire to improve their bond. I’ve seen how tailored training programs can change everything—not just for the dog, but for the person holding the leash. My mission isn’t to make dogs perfect. It’s to help them feel safe, confident, and heard—and to help their humans feel just as capable. I do this work because I believe every dog deserves a clear, loving guide—and every person deserves a dog who trusts them enough to follow.
