About Underdog

I've been passionate about dogs since I was a kid, and started my own training business in 2023. But in early 2024, I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, an incurable but treatable blood cancer, which temporarily forced me to step away from my dog training and therapy work. This experience has offered me a new perspective.  I transitioned from the volunteer side in therapy dog visits to the patient side, receiving the comfort I once gave. This journey has rekindled my passion, deepened my empathy, and strengthened my commitment to using the transformative power of human-canine connections to inspire hope and healing as I return to the work I love.
