After my daughter was diagnosed with Celiac when she was 5 years old I started the journey to train a dog to become a gluten detection service dog. I had been a trainer for over 10 years at the point but I had never ventured into service dog training. I found Dawn Scheu of Willow Service Dogs LLC. and worked with her to train our first gluten detection dog. I went on to intern with Dawn and now specialize in scent based service dog tasks. It is my passion to help people who are in need of a service dog. 

​

Through working with Dawn and her internship program I have watched and helped countless service dog teams go from pet owners with puppies to service dog handlers and service dogs. Now I get to do the same thing with my own clients, all through virtual lessons. Virtual Service Dog training allowed me to train my dog in Germany with a trainer in Michigan. This means I know exactly how you will feel and how to help you learn. The fact is there are very few trainers in the world that are capable of training gluten/allergen detection to the high level it needs to be trained to keep handlers safe from cross contamination, training virtually means you can have access to me from anywhere in the world.
