Hi, I’m Haley- CO-Founder and Trainer at Dog Den.

I’ve spent my life surrounded by canine companions, but my true passion for training took shape in the past few years as I traveled coast to coast, learning from some of the best in the field. My journey into the world of working dogs began unexpectedly three years ago when I adopted a bonded, reactive mother-daughter duo of German Shepherds. These two extraordinary dogs didn’t just challenge me they completely transformed my life.

The process of integrating reactive GSDs into a non-working world became a mission of love and dedication. About a year into our journey together, we packed up and drove to California to study under renowned trainers like Cheri Wolf Lucas, Syncro Drive Train, Frankie and Friends, and Organ Tails. Through these experiences, I discovered that training isn’t just a lifestyle—it is my life’s passion .

My approach focuses on understanding each dog’s individual needs, honoring their unique drives, and building trust through connection. Helping reactive dogs thrive in everyday environments is not just my passion; it’s my purpose.
