When I was twelve, I begged my mom for a puppy until she finally agreed. That little tricolor Beagle came with a red training book and a signed promise that I alone would be responsible for raising him. None of us knew that simple moment would shape the next five decades of my life.

Fifty-four years later, everything I do: training, competing, breeding, and helping dogs thrive, began with that first puppy. Along the way, my own dogs’ health challenges pushed me to search for natural, science-supported solutions long before we had the internet. Decades of hands-on work, mistakes, wins, and constant learning shaped the deep, holistic approach I now share with others.

Now I see more clearly than ever, that our dogs need us to take action because their health is declining faster than it should, and too many are lost long before their time.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by conflicting information or unsure where to begin, you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to guide you with compassion, clarity, and hard-earned wisdom. As I care for Amelia, my 15-1/2 year-old Labrador, she reminds me daily that every step we take to improve a dog’s health is a gift.

I created this free resource to help you start strong, take confident action, and protect the precious years you have with your own dog.
