Meet The Trainer

I started Rise Dog Training out of a deep love for dogs and a desire to build a life where we could do more together. Whether it’s grabbing coffee, hitting the trails, or kayaking on the weekend—I wanted my dog by my side. That’s what inspired me to dive headfirst into learning everything I could about training and behavior.

My style blends real-world readiness with balanced training. I focus on helping everyday pet parents—especially first-time dog owners and active folks—build sustainable habits that make life easier and more enjoyable for both ends of the leash. I’m all about practical, consistent training that leads to more freedom, confidence, and connection.

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll probably find me outside with my dog—hiking, kayaking, or just enjoying the quiet moments. I love this work, and I’m here to help you and your dog rise together and build a life you’ll both love.
