Trajectory

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.

My husband and I share our 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 client 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.
