STRIDE CANINE SERVICES

Passionate. Patient. Persistent. Pet-lover. These are just a few of the characteristics that describe me. I know each animal is different and I’ll work with yours to give them the specific guidance they need. I am here to help whether you’re thinking about getting an animal, have a new pet, or already own a pet with behavioral problems. I have been working with dogs since I was about 12 and got my first dog: a Bouvier Des Flandres named Zeus. I taught obedience and agility classes, helped rehab abused animals (including horses), and then took a bit of a break. Recently and persistently encouraged to get involved and help people with their dogs again, a company was born. I am a balanced/no judgement trainer. I am focused on making strides with you and your dog (see what I did there) and making the dog community a healthier, happier place.

In 2014 I adopted my Murphy. Murphy was an English bull terrier/Boston terrier mix named Murphy. He was in pretty rough shape both physically and mentally when I got him but the truth is: he picked me. He was a special guy and you will spot him pretty much anywhere in my photos and videos. He was the face of the company since he was so darn photogenic and I am camera shy! He died December 28, 2022. He is greatly missed.

Currently I have a Frenchie mix named Kronk. We got him June of 2021 and have been working on his lifestyle training ever since. He is the brindle smoosh face that you see on Instagram and Youtube. You may also see him around town with me demonstrating the lifestyle training that we have worked on since he came home.
