    Dogs aren't made from corporate cookie cutters - so why should their training and care be?

    From obedience to care, purpose in every step.

    Who we are

    Welcome to Highpoint Paws & Purpose - The "jack-of-all-trades!"

    Highpoint Paws & Purpose is not a corporate conglomerate of trainers, but just a sole proprietor following the American Dream of starting their own business! You never have to wonder who is taking care of your pets or entering your home with larger pet care agencies, nor do you have to worry about losing progress when you have a different trainer every week, as you may experience at some chain stores. 


    I believe that every dog deserves to be well-trained and understood, enhancing the bond you share. My dog training style encompasses the LIMA philosophy, specializing in canine good citizen skills through behavior modification (severe anxiety, barrier aggression, and reactivity). Every dog can be a great dog - we just need to learn how to speak the same language.


    I wanted to provide a service to animals and their humans with someone they could trust 110%, never having to worry about the odd little requests (because I have plenty of my own). Your pets will receive the mental and physical enrichment they deserve while you’re working to support their expensive lifestyle, or resting to run when you return!

    I love caring for pets! Schedule right here on our site for a meet and greet or to make any pet services appointment. 


    I also offer in-home dog training, lessons in public venues, and group classes ranging from puppy foundations (AKC S.T.A.R. Program) to trick dog and behavior modification. I also have experience with foundational service dog training and introductory task work. Having been a professional dog trainer for seven years now, I've grown a passion for many things dog-wise!
