Transitioning from the structured life in the US Marine Corps to civilian life was both a challenge and an opportunity for growth. After my service, I found myself searching for direction, a sense of purpose that mirrored the discipline and camaraderie I experienced in the military.

During that period of reflection, I decided to adopt a dog from a local rescue organization. When we brought our rescue pup home, I quickly realized that the bond we formed was transformative. He not only filled our home with joy but also inspired me to deepen my understanding of dog behavior and training. This experience ignited a passion within me, pushing me to explore the world of dog training more seriously.

While exploring my options, I came across programs allowing me to learn about being a pet training instructor, which provided a platform for aspiring trainers. The opportunity to become a pet training instructor seemed like the perfect fit. It allowed me to combine my love for dogs with my desire to help others nurture the bond with their pets. Over the years, I dedicated myself to enhancing my dog training skills, learning everything I could about effective techniques and positive reinforcement. I quickly realized that my skills and knowledge could be used to create a more personal and focused training environment.

This passion inspired me to start my own dog training business, Boss Man Dog Training LLC. My goal is to offer tailored training programs that cater to the unique needs of each dog and their family. As a US Marine Corps Veteran, I bring consistency, dedication and handler development to my training methods, ensuring that every session is both effective and enjoyable.

Now, as a trainer with over six years of experience, I cherish the journey that started with a single adoption. Every dog I work with, and every owner I mentor, brings new insights and reinforces my commitment to building lasting connections through effective training.
