Trainer • Maker • Dog person
I’m the founder of Paisley Dog Gear & Training in Boston. I help dogs and their people build practical skills, clearer communication, and a stronger relationship.
I specialize in trick training and canine freestyle while also working on puppy foundations, manners, leash skills, obedience, behavior support, and confidence. My background in health sciences and psychology helps me create clear, step-by-step plans built around behavior, learning, and stress.
Paisley, my retired service dog, inspired the business. Tallulah is my trick and freestyle demo dog and service dog in training, while Tucker is building foundations for tricks, freestyle, and agility. My pastry-chef background brings precision and creativity to every durable, functional piece of gear I make.

In-person CGC, CGCA, and CGCU testing in the Boston area, virtual Trick Dog and Virtual Home Manners evaluations, CGC prep, and a future small-group S.T.A.R. Puppy program. Title Day evaluations start at $25.

The dogs behind the gear, the training, and a lot of the ideas you see here.
Demo dog • Tricks • Freestyle
My energetic SDiT and primary demo dog for trick training and canine freestyle. Tully has earned AKC Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced Trick Dog titles, plus Do More With Your Dog titles from Novice through Expert. We also train in agility and keep building toward more advanced trick and performance goals.
Puppy in training • Future sport dog
The newest member of the Paisley crew. Tucker is learning engagement, confidence, body awareness, and how to learn from the very beginning. As he grows, we’ll be training in tricks, canine freestyle, and agility—so you’ll get to see his progress from puppy foundations onward.
The original Paisley • Retired service dog
The original Paisley and the reason this business exists. My first dog and retired service dog, she taught me how much thoughtful training, communication, and a strong dog-handler relationship can matter. These days she is enjoying retirement, but her legacy is behind every dog I train and every piece of gear I make.
