I started Proper Paws in 2017 with one goal in mind: to help people build better relationships with their dogs through clear communication, mutual respect, and trust-based training.

What makes Proper Paws different is that I don’t just focus on training the dog—I focus on educating the owner. So often, a dog’s behavior is a direct reflection of the handler’s habits or misunderstandings. My goal is to teach owners the why behind their dog’s behavior and the how behind training methods that work for their specific dog and lifestyle. Because when an owner understands how to connect with their dog, they’re not just fixing a behavior—they’re building a relationship they don’t get any other way other than training.

Whether I’m working with a puppy learning the ropes or a dog working through reactive behaviors, I tailor everything to the individual dog and owner. That personalized approach leads to long-term success and helps create confident, capable owners who truly understand their dogs.
