Every dog is different, and every family has different goals. At 4 Paws K9 Training LLC, we provide practical, personalized training designed to help you better communicate with your dog and build the structure, consistency, and skills needed for lasting results.

With over 19 years of professional dog training experience, I bring extensive hands-on experience from private training and group classes to every dog and family I work with.

I am professionally certified in dog training through renowned trainer Sharon Bolt and have had the privilege of working alongside my mentor, Master Trainer and Retired Rhode Island State Police Sergeant Matthew Zarrella.

I am Dog First Aid & CPR Certified and an AKC Approved Evaluator for Canine Good Citizen (CGC), S.T.A.R. Puppy, Community Canine (CGCA), Urban CGC (CGCU), and Trick Dog.

Continuing education remains an important part of my work. I regularly attend seminars, workshops, and professional training to stay current with modern, balanced training methods, canine behavior, nutrition, and wellness.

My continuing education has included canine nutrition and raw feeding with Dr. Richard Patton and canine nutritionist Johnna Devereaux, as well as stem cell treatments with Dr. Daniel Cardosa of Big River Veterinary.

At 4 Paws K9 Training LLC, our goal is simple: to give you the knowledge, tools, and confidence to continue your dog’s success long after our training sessions are complete.
