Ariel has been training dogs for over 10 years.  A a child, she worked with her parents' Belgian Malinois mix.  She also worked with dogs belonging to friends and family. 

In 2014, she rescued Halligan, a lab mix that was very sick and underweight.  After months of rigorous veterinary treatment, Halligan made a full recovery.  Soon after, Ariel began having health issues of her own.  Halligan then began his training as a working dog.  Today he serves as a medical alert dog and has made a huge impact on Ariel's life and well-being.

Ariel and Halligan have earned many trick titles, manners titles, stunt dog titles, and enjoy competing in rally, competition obedience, and agility. 

In 2017, Ariel joined the Pet Professional Guild as a force-free trainer, holding to beliefs she had of training dogs without pain, force, or fear.
