I started The Devoted Canine as a board and train service in 2024 after training and working with dogs for over 10 years and with training facilities. I’ve trained pet dogs, service dogs, sport dogs, personal protection dogs and scent detection dogs. I have helped many clients with basic obedience, advanced obedience, off-leash obedience, and behavior modifications, all to create a harmonious relationship.

My favorite part of my work is watching the transformation of relationships between human and canine. I have a natural ability to connect with the dogs and their owners to ensure a positive learning environment. I specialize in advanced off-leash obedience, engagement and bonding. I have achieved certifications in dog training and am an official Canine Good Citizen Evaluator.

I am native to San Diego with a lifelong love for animals. Growing up surrounded by the natural beauty of Southern California I have developed a deep connection to animals, which now includes a diverse family of pets—two Belgian Malinois, 1 Malinois/German Shepherd mix, 1 Tervuren, even a pet pig and a bearded dragon. I am also currently apprenticing for odor detection and will soon be a K9 handler.

I also have a background in nutrition coaching which has expanded my passion to pet nutrition, helping to insure that animals live healthy, happy lives through proper diet and care.

When I am not spending time on dog-related activities and dog sports I am busy with my family, I love spending time with my husband and two kids.
