Originally from the UK, I now reside in Sarasota, Florida. I have gained extensive experience working with dogs since 1997 and have been professionally training since 2007, teaching group and private lessons. I have experience working with behavioral issues such as reactivity; and teaching dogs and puppies life skills, manners and obedience. My training approach is "least intrusive, minimally aversive" (LIMA), the aim of which is to train your dog with minimal adverse side effects. My training plan is adjusted for each and every dog.

The Homegrown Dog was started with the goal of bridging the gap in communication and understanding between owners and their dogs. We're here to help owners instill confidence and calm in their four-legged family members. Our relationship-based training is focused on improving your life AND your dog's life too! The journey may start with us, but true + lasting change in your dog will be grown from home!
