Our Journey

My journey began when my daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. We needed help with alerts, so I started researching service dogs and dog training. Along the way, I realized I could create a training approach that was different—more flexible with scheduling, accessible through manageable payments, and long enough to create lasting results. I focused on positive reinforcement methods grounded in science, because I knew that building trust and confidence is the key to success.

What started as a need for my own family quickly became a passion. I fell in love with dog training—watching the bond between a dog and their family transform, time and again, showed me what I was meant to do. Today, I work with hundreds of dogs each year, helping families harmonize their homes and strengthen the connections between their dogs and other pets. Every success story is a reminder that the right training can truly change lives—for dogs and the people who love them.

Every dog is unique, which is why Good Dogs Stay offers customized training plans tailored to your dog's specific needs. I assess your dog's behavior and create a plan that works for you both.

 Our diabetic alert training teaches dogs to recognize and respond to changes in blood sugar, providing life-saving early warnings for their handlers. Using science-based positive reinforcement, we build confident, reliable dogs who empower families with safety, independence, and peace of mind.
