Affinity Canine Coaching grew from my experience teaching puppy kindergarten, family dog, advanced manners, and trick-training classes, as well as evaluating dogs for the AKC Canine Good Citizen program, and working through my own dog training adventure for obedience competition. Through that work, I saw how often dog owners needed practical, individualized guidance that fit their real lives, not just a single method or one-size-fits-all advice.

Through Affinity Canine Coaching, I provide private dog training in Washington, DC, with a focus on helping people better understand their dogs, build useful everyday skills, and feel more confident as an owner.

I also know that not everyone can get to DC for training or is ready for private coaching. With that in mind, I created these digital guides are designed for people who want clear, practical DIY support from an experienced pet dog trainer. Each resource breaks training down into approachable steps, offers options when one technique is not the right fit, and helps owners make more informed decisions for the dog in front of them.
