HI! I’M BB

As a kid, I always wanted to be a teacher. After earning a Master’s Degree in Education from Stanford University, I taught in Mexico and Europe and I was the founder of The Paros School on the island of Paros, Greece.

My dog training began when, while dog walking professionally, I intuitively discovered that I could change dogs’ behavior. That’s what I’m here to teach you. It can be as simple as changing your posture or tone of voice.

I love how each dog is unique, living their unique lives, communicating in their unique ways. They all delight in understanding what we want, doing it for us, and getting rewarded. A dog’s life is in the perpetual present.

In my Way of the Wag work, I feel the dogs, a skill I learned as a child with a strong intuitive sense. I became certified through Dog Tec and do Continuing Education with leading dog experts to learn the latest techniques in dog training and care.

I make training fun and intuitive and celebrate the progress of you and your dog. If you are eager to improve your relationship with your dog and resolve issues, I would love to work with you both. Reach out. Let’s talk.
