I'm the Founder, Owner, and Head Trainer of Valor K9 Academy. After becoming a triple-certified dog trainer in 2013, I have spent my career training thousands of dogs of all ages, needs, and temperaments whether they be family, police, service, or personal protection dogs.
Training dogs and teaching people are my two biggest passions. Do what you love and love what you do most certainly rings true for me!
My husband, Justin, and I live north of Boise, Idaho, with our daughter, Emma, and our two dogs, Havok and Zoey.Â
My dog, Hank, and I love Valor! I wouldn't go anywhere else for training.
