Soul Pup Training was inspired by my first personal dog, a border collie mix and real-life soul puppy, Bing!

After adopting her from the Dumb Friends League in Denver back in 2009, I found that she provided me with unconditional love and an education that I never expected. Through her warmth, forgiveness, patience, and adventurous nature during my college years, I learned to be a more compassionate dog owner and a more psychology-based dog trainer. After college I was considering what I wanted to do with my life, and it struck me that working with animals was my true calling and my passion project.

Bing had been right there beside me through thick and thin and taught me incredible lessons about dog communication and training with compassion. Sadly, she crossed the rainbow bridge in the summer of 2024 and my business is inspired by her immortal legacy to this day.

I have spent nearly a decade of my life learning, growing, and educating myself as much as possible in the current positive reinforcement methods for animal training. My business is also expanding to cater to cat training and horse connection training options as well. This next step proves that the foundations of animal learning theory coupled with positive reinforcement can be used across a multitude of animal species for safe and effective training. Any behavior can be adjusted with understanding, proper support, and a little detective work!

I consider what I do holistic animal - human therapy rather than traditional training due to the complex and individualized take I use to approach each unique family of clients. I care deeply about proving each family with the dedication and care that I give to my personal animals. This business is a living embodiment of my desire and passion to help people connect with their animals long-term as much as I have with my own fur babies.
