Hello
My focus is on helping you navigate life with your pet in a way that fulfills both of your lives.Good Vibes Behavior & Training focuses on positive reinforcement training ( R+ ) and follows Force Free methodology. While our dogs - and ourselves! - will always have things in life that we find stressful, frightening, or otherwise aversive, it is our responsibility as pet guardians to minimize these day-to-day stressors where possible.Any behavior can be accomplished without the use of force and I strive to teach you the best way to communicate with your pets in the least aversive way possible.

About
I have been in the animal field professionally since 2014, starting with zoos and museums. I come with a degree in Biology and many years of both experience and education, both of which I continually work on growing.Animal behavior, care, and training is a field that should never be stagnant and I'm passionate about making sure I stay on top of new and advancing science. I am currently pursuing my Registered Veterinary Technician degree while working at a local veterinary clinic.I have a passion for primitive breeds, especially, and helping owners and their dogs thrive together.
