Black Mountain Canine

Raising calm, connected companions

What I Do

At Black Mountain Canine, I help families build strong, respectful, and lasting bonds with their dogs through relationship-based training and behavior support. My approach blends clear communication, consistency, and compassion to create calm, confident dogs and confident owners. Whether you’re dealing with basic obedience, leash manners, reactivity, or more complex behavioral concerns*, we’ll work together to find solutions that truly fit your lifestyle and your dog’s needs.

*Dogs with a bite history or human or dog aggression will need to be referred out to a trainer or behaviorist with the proper facility and experience for these types of concerns.

My Story

I’ve been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember, but my real journey as a trainer began with my own dogs — each with their unique quirks, challenges, and lessons. Navigating those challenges opened my eyes to how misunderstood so many dogs are, and how much more peaceful and connected life can be when we learn to speak their language.

Today, I combine years of hands-on experience, continued education, and a deep respect for the human–canine bond to help others do the same. My goal is simple: to empower you with the tools and understanding you need to raise a dog that isn’t just well-behaved, but truly part of your family.
