Like playing a game with your best friend.
Like an adventure you take together.
Like building skills that matter the most.
Likeβ¦Magic.
I have been training dogs my whole life, but started assisting in training classes and seeking to better understand how dogs learn and how our lives intertwine in 2015, and have been offering services with Like Magic since 2019.
My specialization in reactivity came naturally through my own training needs, and my fascination with relationships and development has meant that Iβve also come to focus on puppies, adolescents, as well as fear, aggression, and anxiety.
Growing up, stories have been as much a constant of my life as dogs have been. It didnβt take long before I began to see training as yet another collaborative storytelling adventure - complete with stat blocks, good and bad dice rolls, and challenge ratings for the hard things.
