The Dream Team Promise: Humane, ethical, evidence-informed, empathy-driven, fear- and force-free, positive training backed by the latest scientific evidence, that prioritizes your dog’s emotional, physical, and mental wellbeing at all times. Backed by professional credentials and certifications pet parents can trust.

Thank you for visiting Dream Team’s website. I am so glad you are here! I have had the privilege of working with the Fredericton canine community since 2017. My passion is to foster relationships of joy, mutual understanding, confidence, and kindness between dogs and their humans.

Shepie

WHERE IT ALL STARTED
Behind every good trainer, there is a dog who changed their life. That would be my Shepie. Shepie has taught me far more than I can ever teach him. Shepie is a sensitive soul who I would best classify as misunderstood. When he came into my life, I wanted nothing more than to show him the world! But, he was terrified of it. This inspired my desire to learn more, to do better, and to be better for him, eventually leading me to where I am today.
Favourite Activities: trick training, scent detection, canicross, hiking, swimming, and long walks in the woods
Accomplishments:
Trick Dog Grand Champion
Expert Trick Dog Masters
Competing in two Canicross races
Rogue

THE JOY AND THE LAUGHTER
Rogue is the best friend who always makes you laugh. He is an absolute dork, my wild child, and has a phenomenal work ethic. Rogue believes he is the coolest dog on the planet, and I don’t think he is wrong. If you attend any of my workshops, seminars, or group classes, you may meet him as he loves to demo and help teach others! Rogue shines on the agility field and I am so blessed to be his teammate for all our crazy adventures.
Favourite Activities: agility, trick training, running wild and free, playdates and training dates with his friends
