As a United States Army combat veteran, my passion for training dogs is rooted in real-world experience and a deep understanding of the powerful bond between humans and canines. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of dogs, from high-performance working K9s to beloved family pets. My background includes working with military K9s, explosive detection K9s, and search and rescue K9s, ensuring dogs are highly skilled and reliable in high-stakes environments. I’ve also trained service dogs to assist individuals with disabilities, conservation K9s for wildlife and environmental protection, and protection K9s for security purposes. Beyond specialized working dogs, I have extensive experience rehabilitating shelter dogs, giving them a second chance at life, and training pet dogs to become well-mannered companions. My diverse expertise allows me to tailor training programs to fit any dog’s needs, whether for work, service, or home life.
As a nationally certified Trainer, Instructor, and Explosive Detection K9 Handler, I combine proven techniques with real-world experience to deliver results. My mission is to help every dog reach its full potential while strengthening the bond between dog and owner through clear communication, trust, and consistency. I believe that dogs are more than just animals—they are family. Every dog I work with is treated with love, respect, and compassion. My goal is not only to train dogs but to help build stronger, lifelong relationships between dogs and their owners.
We work to consistently innovate and improve upon the way that dogs are trained. Dogwise Academy aims to simplify the training process for busy families.See all
