Dogs are my passion, and I’ve dedicated my life to helping them and their owners live in harmony. I grew up in Summerville, South Carolina, and moved to Indianapolis in 2010, where I've been living ever since. I began my journey with dogs right after high school as a kennel technician, gaining experience in various roles including doggy daycare attendant, receptionist, and assistant manager of a kennel. My love for dogs led me to pursue certification as a dog obedience trainer from Penn Foster. Volunteering at Indy Humane and witnessing the number of dogs in shelters inspired me to become a trainer. My goal is to help prevent as many dogs as possible from ending up in shelters by strengthening the bond between dogs and their families through proper training.
I share my home with two beloved dogs: Smalls Ferdinand, a Saint Bernard, and Morbius (Morbi), an American Staffordshire Terrier we rescued from the Indianapolis Humane Society. We are committed to creating a happy, healthy environment for all dogs, including those in my care. In addition to training, I provide a safe and structured environment for dogs. I meticulously track their routines, including feeding, medication, and exercise, using tools like the monday.app to ensure every dog’s needs are met.
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
