A Bit About Me
Hello! I'm so happy you're here, and I hope we get to work together! I've trained therapy and assistance dogs since 2008, and I've raised dogs for programs along the way. I've also trained the Princeton Police Departments first comfort dog, K9 Cruiser! We are so proud of the work Officer Doyle and Cruiser do for our community.

Work Experience
NEADS 2009 - 2016
BASK9 2017
BK9S/The Right Paw 2016 - Present
I volunteered for NEADS for several years before they hired me as a trainer in 2009. I trained assistance dogs, ran prison programs, and matched and trained clients to work with their dogs.
In 2017 I raised a service dog for BASK9. This dog lived with me for 6 months before moving on. He's still working with his person today.
I started a pet dog training business in 2016. In 2020 that business bought The Right Paw. We offer group classes, private lessons, therapy dog training, and more!

Work Experience
NEADS 2007 - 2008
Canines for Kids 2008 - Present
America's Vet Dogs 2019 - Present
The Right Paw 2020 - Present
I was an intern at NEADS and got hands on experience training Assistance Dogs, working in the prison programs, and matching and working with clients.
Canines for Kids helps people connect with programs or private trainers who provide assistance dogs. CDK also provides scholarships to kids who are looking to get an assistance dog. My main job is fundraising for the program.
I was contracted by America's Vet Dogs in 2019 to create a hearing dog training program for them. I still work for them on a contract basis, temperament testing shelter dogs for hearing dog work
At The Right Paw I teach group classes and private lessons. I run The Right Paw Scent Club and I temperament test litters for breeders.
