Let’s rope in your dream dog together!
Welcome to the rodeo!
Throw out the old idea that dog training is just asking your puppy to sit. To not honor what is actually happening would be such a waste. Dog training is applied science, expectation management, and above all- maintaining a positive attitude for change to happen!
After practicing various dog training methods for the last decade, I became frustrated with the strict mindset of “bad habits” and “bad behaviors” being negative events rather than perfect opportunities for growth. By reframing your outlook you can change how you experience a situation. Because our emotions drive our behavior, this is a key component for change to truly happen. I have a strong desire to shape the world to be a better place by bridging this gap of miscommunication between dog and human.
Bad Habits Enrichment is an all encompassing lifestyle approach to professional dog training. I bring a unique combination of trauma informed, no bull-sh*t education and strategy to our sessions through L.I.M.A., Fear Free, and Reiki Energy techniques. While working with me you may find that your original expectations might not align with what you truly want and that is where the magic happens!
L.I.M.A is an acronym for the Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive humane hierarchy system.
How may I help you?

Dogs do not come pre-programmed or with instruction manuals. While I am so thankful for this, the truth is, they still require us to teach them skills in order to thrive in our world.
As you know life and circumstances change, but I am here to help!
I provide hourly behavior modification sessions to help you have the best relationship with your dog!

Whether it’s an event, a group class, or you need a demonstration dog I’ve got just the one for you! Bodhi, my AKC German Shepherd, is available for hire!
As a professional trainer myself I understand when training with reactivity it can be pretty difficult to create safe and sub-threshold “environments” to practice B.A.T. in, once you graduate to training with live dogs. The dog park is a great training tool, but you just can’t place bets on other dogs being fully and reliably under control. I deeply empathize with reactive dogs handlers and for this reason Bodhi and I can be made available for your distanced reactivity training in low traffic, outdoor locations that i’m familiar with in the middle Tennessee area.
All demo dog inquiries can be sent to my email: badhabitsenrichment@gmail.com
Due to the rate of burnout in the pet care industry, I offer complimentary trauma-informed listening, gentle encouragement, and conflict resolution skill sessions to any pet care professional in the community!
