20 years of Strutting

I got my start in the hands on world of dog walking in 2004 and

I’ve been a certified dog trainer and behavior consultant since 2008 with Ccpdt. I wrote a book about leash walking in urban areas and have otherwise only known and had a passion for dog handling most of my life. This year celebrates 20 years of City Strut!

In Bend, my husband Josh is hiking as Call Of The Wild. I, on the other hand am opening up to my hearts calling which is so badly needed. These are Dog Circles, small group dog discussions about kids and k9s, dog diet, grief, adolescent dogs and more…My aim is to make an accessible space where people who truly need support can get it from not just me, but from our community. When we share questions, we all learn more.

I will also be offering hikes on a limited basis because it is my happy place and I’m also pregnant with our second son.

My approach is wholistic and realistic

I understand that every dog and household are unique and require individualized training. That's why we offer customized training programs that are tailored to meet your dog's specific needs and your family’s goals.

I sit with you, offer a space to reflect whats happening for you and your dog behavior, look at your goals and devise a plan to achieve them together.
