Izzy began dog training and sports nine years ago when she adopted Piper, a pit bull mix with severe fear and anxiety. Through trick training and dog sports, Piper quickly became a confident and joyful dog.
Since then, Izzy has loved bringing that joy to other dogs and handlers through teaching them the fun of all different types of dog sports using positive reinforcement training. She trains in agility, dock diving, disc, rally, freestyle, barn hunt, tricks, and shed hunt with Piper and her border collie, Grayson. She also fosters Belgian Malinois, improving their adoptability through behavior modification and starting them in dog sports.
Behavior modification is her favorite thing to teach, as there is nothing more fulfilling than helping a dog to be safer and comfortable in the world!
