About Me

I began working in the dog industry in 2016 as a dog daycare attendant at Park 9. Over the course of 6 years, I gained an abundance of experience working with a variety of Toronto dogs of all ages, breeds, backgrounds and behaviour challenges. With a TMU degree in Science focusing on animals & minor in psychology, I became passionate about studying and understanding dog behaviour. I began conducting behavioural assessments of new daycare dogs, & offering private training for clients who were looking for 1:1 guidance through behaviour issues. I have built a loyal client base, receive countless referrals & found several avenues of working with dogs - from dog sitting long term clients to working as a classroom & private lesson instructor at When Hounds Fly. 

I have become known for my science based & compassionate approach to dog training, and customized training plans that are specific to each client & their dog. The Dog Mamaa stems from my reputation of having a gentle, nurturing yet highly effective training approach when working with dogs. I am proud to consistently demonstrate that no matter the breed, a kind and thoughtful approach works. When I'm not busy helping Toronto dogs thrive, I am at the gym, travelling, making art or binge watching a new true crime or nature documentary!
