I started On Purpose Dog Training because I saw too many dogs struggling — not because they were bad, but because they did not have the right foundation. And I saw too many owners frustrated, overwhelmed, and out of answers.

I am a certified professional dog trainer specializing in structured, positive reinforcement programs for puppies, leash behavior, and fear and anxiety rehabilitation. Every program I run is trainer-led, criteria-driven, and built around a single principle: calm dogs learn faster, retain more, and live better lives.

My approach is rooted in modern behavioral science. I do not use force, fear, or shortcuts. I build programs that install real skills and real emotional regulation — the kind that holds up at home, on walks, and in the real world.

I work with puppy owners who want to start right, families dealing with chaotic walks, and owners of dogs struggling with fear and anxiety who have been told their dog is “just like that.” If your dog is struggling, there is usually a reason — and a path forward.

Training is personal to me. I believe every dog deserves structure, patience, and a fair chance to succeed. And I believe every owner deserves a clear plan, honest guidance, and a trainer who actually cares about the outcome.

If that sounds like what you are looking for, I would love to work with you
