Ashlyn takes a holistic approach to dog training, considering not just the presenting behavior but also the dog’s health, environment, and family dynamics. Her goal is to foster a harmonious relationship between dogs and their owners, creating enriched lives for both. She employs diverse techniques, including clicker training, enrichment activities, and tailored routines to meet the unique needs of each family.

Training Philosophy

Ashlyn has always been passionate about animals. Her journey began as a 4-H member, raising rabbits and goats, and training her family’s Australian cattle dog.

This early connection inspired her to pursue a career in veterinary medicine as a vet assistant, where she discovered her love for dog training and behavior. Today, she combines her veterinary expertise with her training skills to provide comprehensive, compassionate care for dogs of all sizes and backgrounds.
