I grew up in Beirut, Lebanon where long-standing internal political conflict was the norm. However, not only were its people at times in the crosshairs, but so were its dogs. Many wandered the streets, some having been afflicted with hunger, or inflicted untreated wounds. I would see these dogs, and used the money my parents gave me to feed these strays and take care of them. I felt an immediate bond with them, and they responded as such.

 One day, I heard gun shots outside my window followed by loud cries of help. It was the local police killing the homeless dogs and removing them from the streets. I felt helpless to do anything about it. Still, I continued to feed and care for those that survived, and vowed that one day I would make a difference.

Fast forward several years to my moving to the U.S. I got a miniature Golden Doodle named Chloe who changed my life in many ways. Growing up with German Shepherds, I was amazed by how much personality Chloe has. However, Chloe had some serious resource guarding issues that were only getting worse. I trained Chloe by reading all I could, watching videos, and figuring out the most successful and caring methods to train her. And that’s how I was introduced to Michael Ellis, whose approach to dog training resonated with me and my love for dogs.

One day, I was out walking Chloe when I heard a dog crying for help which brought back bitter memories from childhood. I ran towards the park and that’s where I spotted a so-called dog trainer inflicting so much pain and hatred on one of his client’s dogs. This did not sit well with me. But a light bulb went off for me. I can do so much more for dogs than this man. I was motivated to turn my love for dogs into a business. I was ready to provide the care and guidance required to make dogs and their owners happy.

I am now a graduate of one of the most renowned dog training schools in the world—Michael Ellis’s School for Dog Trainers, where I completed courses in puppy development, basic obedience, advanced obedience, motivation, behavior modification, intermediate/advanced detection, and protection. 

I’d love to meet you and your dog for a consultation. Training your dog is not just a job for me, it’s a life-long passion deeply rooted in my love for dogs.
