At Barkology, we specialize in positive reinforcement dog training that builds trust, strengthens your bond, and makes learning fun for your dog. We use reward-based methods that are humane, effective, and tailored to your dog’s individual personality, breed, and learning style.
We follow a fear-free approach, prioritizing your dog’s emotional wellbeing every step of the way. This means we do not use aversive tools such as prong collars, choke chains, or shock collars. Instead, we focus on clear communication, consistency, and positive motivation—helping your dog feel safe, confident, and eager to participate in training.
By creating a safe, supportive environment, we not only address unwanted behaviors but also teach your dog skills that last a lifetime—resulting in a happy, well-mannered companion.

I’m a certified professional dog trainer (CPDT-KA), which means I’ve passed a rigorous exam and met industry standards for knowledge, skills, and ethics in dog training. But certification is just the beginning—I also complete ongoing continuing education to stay up to date with the latest in science-based, humane training methods.
I’m committed to using positive reinforcement and force-free techniques that build trust, communication, and real-world skills. My goal is to not only help you train your dog but also to help you understand them better—so you can build a strong, lasting bond.
