My Journey to Kaleidoscope Dog Services

My love of animals started early—at just 9 years old, when I proudly showed my collie, Pepper, in 4-H. From there, my path was shaped by dogs in many forms: raising and training guide dogs, serving as an apprentice guide dog trainer, and helping handlers and their service dogs learn to thrive together as a team.

Along the way, I pursued degrees in veterinary science, equine science, and communications, and gained hands-on experience with everything from working with thoroughbred racehorses to managing veterinary clinics. I’ve also shared the joy of therapy dog work with my black lab, Fenton, who taught me firsthand how deeply dogs can touch people’s lives.

But what ties all of these experiences together is a simple truth: I’ve always been passionate about helping people understand and connect with their dogs. That passion eventually led me to start Kaleidoscope Dog Services—a place where science-based, compassionate training helps families create calmer, happier lives with their dogs.

I continue to invest in my growth through industry-leading seminars like Victoria Stilwell’s Dog Behavior Conference and Family Dog Mediation, ensuring I stay at the forefront of positive reinforcement training. My mission is to guide guardians through the challenges of raising and training dogs, building trust, communication, and lasting bonds—so that every relationship can be as rewarding and joyful as it should be.

My Passion and Commitment

I’m excited to work with you and your dog on this journey toward better behavior, trust, and connection. Together, we’ll build clear communication, strengthen your bond, and help you truly “speak dog”—creating the relationship you’ve always wanted with your best friend.
