My formal background is in early childhood education, more specifically kindergarten readiness (what is
today's 4 year old kindergarten). Pawsitively Unleashed! was created to offer high quality education
opportunities for pet owners in order to help dogs remain in their homes, as the well-mannered companions
they can be.
I began serving Central WI dog owner's in 1995, when I joined a local all-breed dog club, and began
volunteering as a training assistant and instructor, and later became the training director. Noting
available classes were designed around the use of aversive methods and formal obedience competition
exercises, I decided to offer dog owners the opportunity to learn about positive training methods and in
1997 opened my own training facility based on the philosophy of positive training methods and the "whole
dog approach". (I was fka Happy Tails To You).
I became a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers, and educated myself on the methods of
positive training and the science behind them. In 2009 I enrolled in the Companion Animal Institute's
(diploma program) Canine Behavior Science and Technology program, enabling me to offer formal behavior
consults with owner's and their dogs in the hopes of keeping them from being surrendered.
While I do actively compete in several dog sports, my programs are aimed at the average pet owner, I
leave competition training to other instructors, wishing instead to offer the best possible options in
training and education to those owners wanting a well-mannered dog.
My philosophy is simple...positive training methods based on real science and not ego are the best way to
not only help your dog understand what is expected, but it creates a life long bond! Owner education of
dog training keeps dogs forever in the home!
