What my clients think…

I am so happy with my trainer. She has done a great job educating me and training me as well as my dog. She is patient with both Kiwi and me, and is great at answering any questions I may have. I look forward to our visits because I know that it is making Kiwi a happier dog!

-- Shelly, Mechanicsburg

Sadie’s mellow and very funny personality made the training relaxing for us non dogs and for Tracker.  When you mention Sadie’s name around him, you get a big smile and a lot of tail wags!  Sadie has brought peace back to our home but, more importantly, she has given Tracker back the very essence of being a dog -- that carefree and happy quality that only a dog can know!

--Christine and Hobi, Harrisburg

My husband and I were so amazed and impressed with the first session’s results.  We are now confident that with guidance, training tools, and on going support we will have well-behaved pets.  Our only regret is that we did not start this process sooner!

--Joe and Kathy, Harrisburg

About me…

I have been an animal lover my entire life.  At the age of six, I told my parents that I wanted to train animals for a living.  Now, I am actually living my dream!

While growing up, I worked as a veterinarian’s assistant. I volunteered at the local shelter and fostered animals.  I have been training service dogs for people with disabilities since 2003.  While in college, I interned at the Philadelphia Zoo training birds, pigs and other farm animals. Prior to Bark Busters, I went to California and participated in a program that allowed me to work with exotic animals (leopards, lions, tigers, and bears).  Training has always been my passion, and animals have been a part of my life. Now, I have a standard poodle (in the picture) named Lulu and a cat named Sassy. 

I look forward to meeting you and your animal family!
