My relationships with my dogs transformed my life, teaching me resilience, responsibility, and self-discovery. Starting with Rozeah, a gift from a boyfriend at the time, I instantly committed to giving her a stable, loving life, contrasting with my own turbulent upbringing. As I expanded my family with Vito and Kaedda, my first XL Bullies, I learned the hard way that dogs mirror the environment around them, which brought challenges and conflicts in my home. Despite training attempts, tensions grew. Simultaneously Vito was diagnosed with a brain tumor and within weeks I had lost my very first Bully boy. It was a painful experience that deepened my understanding of loss and responsibility.

A pivotal moment came when I attended Cesar Millan’s training with Kaedda, which transformed my perspective on dog ownership and highlighted how dogs reflect their owners’ energy and emotional state. The experience shifted my approach, prompting me to advocate for self-awareness, emotional honesty, and balanced relationships for both people and pets.

After Kaedda’s passing, my commitment to helping misunderstood bully breeds grew stronger. Adding Romi to my family, an XL Bully puppy, I vowed to honor Vito and Kaedda by promoting positive change in the lives of strong and misunderstood breeds. 

As I learned from incredible trainers and behaviorists over the years, I realized something important: no single method works the same for everyone. Some trainers were stronger than me, more experienced than me, and lived very different lifestyles. While their techniques worked for them, I quickly saw that they didn’t always fit me.

At 4’11” and around 100 pounds, I simply can’t out-muscle a dog that weighs 160 pounds of pure strength. And honestly, I don’t believe we should have to. Instead, I needed to discover a way to truly communicate with dogs, to build cooperation without force. That search is what led me to create the system I use today.

Dogs teach us powerful lessons on resilience, self-improvement, and the importance of a positive, balanced mindset. I want to help others become the leaders their dogs need and promote a life of positivity and purpose for both people and their pets. My mission is to educate owners on building a fulfilling life with their dogs, building a community that values love, wellness, and connection.
