  • Head Trainer

  • Owner

Together, we founded Bare Knuckle Dog Training LLC with a simple mission: to prioritize the best interests of both dogs and their owners. Our goal when working with any owner and their dog is to enhance the dog's quality of life through training. A well-trained and obedient dog that understands social manners can explore the world beyond just the backyard or a simple walk around the block.

Many owners dream of having a faithful canine companion—a dog to hike and run with, someone who can join them on adventures and keep them company at a café. They want a dog to be a part of their lives in as many ways as possible. At Bare Knuckle Dog Training, we aim to provide these enriching experiences through effective training, regardless of the severity of behavioral issues.
