Eppic Dogs is a proudly queer-owned and operated business in Cranbrook, BC, with extensive experience supporting individuals and families from diverse backgrounds. We lead with inclusive, evidence-based training strategies that are tailored to each client’s unique needs—whether you’re a first-time dog owner, a breeder, experienced competetor, or anything in between. I work with clients of all walks of life, to develop solutions that integrate into daily life, regardless of your situation.
 

My specialty is in helping dogs and their people build better lives together through preventive behavior programs and personalized support for existing challenges. I break goals down into simple, achievable steps that make sense for both you and your dog. My focus is on finding what truly fits your lifestyle and your dog’s needs, then teaching you practical methods and creating a timeline together that makes those goals feel doable—and enjoyable—every step of the way.

​

My training methods are grounded in fairness, clarity, and relationship. I prioritize reward-based techniques while recognizing that, in some cases, a balanced approach incorporating appropriate negative reinforcement or correction can be the most compassionate option. My goal is to communicate effectively with both dog and owner, empowering clients with the knowledge and confidence to continue their progress independently.
