Joi has been passionate about animals her entire life, and her journey with dogs has been nothing short of incredible. Starting out as a Veterinary Technician, she quickly realized her true calling was in training, and in 2017, she made the leap into the world of dog behavior—and she hasn’t looked back since. With years of experience and thousands of dogs and owners trained, Joi has had the privilege of witnessing the deep bonds that positive, balanced training can create. She believes that every dog has the potential to learn and thrive when given clear guidance, patience, and the right tools. Her approach is rooted in building trust and communication, helping both dogs and their humans navigate life together in a way that is fulfilling for both.
At home, Joi shares her life with her incredible Leopard Catahoula/Border Collie mix, Khal Doggo “Cowboy” Martin. More than just a companion, Cowboy is a true partner in her work—an exceptional demo dog, a socialization assistant for other dogs, and a genius who understands five different languages, opens doors, turns lights on and off, and so much more. He’s the coolest coworker anyone could ask for and makes Joi proud every single day. Joi is dedicated to helping owners build stronger, more rewarding relationships with their dogs, and she looks forward to being part of that journey with each new client she meets.
