About

Stephanie has been helping dogs and their humans for 28 years, and she's still just as excited about behavior science as she was on day one. Her experience includes private coaching, shelter work, and time with the Animal Behavior Clinic of Portland, all of which shape her kind, clear, and practical approach to working with a wide range of training and behavior issues, including aggression, reactivity, fear, anxiety, and other complex behavior issues.

Stephanie holds her Certified Professional Dog Trainer and Certified Behavior Consultant Canine credentials through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT).

"Stephanie is all about turning chaos into connection, with a few laughs along the way."

Background & Approach

Her goal is to help clients meet their training goals, and most importantly, strengthen the relationship they have with their dog by building understanding, trust, and a better sense of their dog's individual needs. Stephanie's nearly three decades of experience span private coaching, shelter environments, and clinical behavior work, giving her a deep, well-rounded foundation for tackling everything from everyday manners to the most complex behavior cases.

Beyond the Clinic

When she isn't working with dogs, Stephanie is usually hanging out with her partner and friends, reading, or leveling up in a game.
