I help people and organizations navigate complex questions about dog behaviour cases, welfare, programs and policy.
I'm a certified dog behavior consultant based in Prince Edward Island, and I work with dog owners and organizations to address training needs, behavior problems, and service dog development. Through my business Spot On Dogs, I offer private training, group classes, and behavior consulting—from puppy foundations to complex behavioral cases.
My expertise spans puppy training and preparation, behavior modification, service dog preparation, and owner coaching. I work across individual consultations, group settings, and in-depth behavioral evaluations that identify specific goals and practical management solutions right away.
Bringing your dog to work sounds simple until it isn't. We'll walk through how to introduce your dog into your practice or workplace without risking an incident that undermines your professionalism — covering behaviour readiness, boundaries, and workplace norms. In one hour we'll map a clear path forward. Ideal for any workplace, university/college, healthcare, nonprofit, government, service provider, dog-related organization, helping professional, and others.
Add a training or behaviour program to your clinic — the right way. This session walks through scope of practice, what services to offer, and set your team up to deliver it well from day one. Great for clinics exploring RVT-led behaviour services.
