Hello

Hi, I'm Madison! I am an animal lover who loves studying animal behavior and training methods to help better the lives of the animals around me. I focus on the emotions of the animals I work with and strive to create a safe and trusting learning environment. Dogs are always communicating and my goal is to help you read their communication and to communicate in an effective way back to create a secure bond that encourages growth as a team.

My Story

My journey with dogs began in college when I became a foster for a Service Dog organization. I quickly fell in love with working with dogs. I eventually went on to professionally train at the same organization. During my time there I fostered nineteen dogs and welcomed two hopeful breeders into my home. I placed over twenty dogs with children and veterans. Currently, I am working on obtaining two training certifications.
