How It All Started

With over 10 years of experience in the pet industry, I’ve had the privilege of working with animals in many different settings. But it wasn’t until I adopted my dog, Duff, that my true career path as a trainer began. She completely changed my life—challenging me, teaching me, and showing me just how deep the bond between dogs and humans can be. Inspired by our journey together, I founded Adventure Paws Dog Training with one clear goal: helping dogs and their humans build confidence, strengthen their connection, and live more fulfilling lives side by side.

Training can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone! With guidance, the right tools, and a little patience, I help you cut through the noise and focus on what truly works for you + your dog. Together, we’ll build skills that bring calm to your home, ease to your walks, and confidence to your relationship.

The result? A happier dog, a more relaxed you, and a life that feels more enjoyable for both of you.

Our Values

Confident Dogs

Confidence is the foundation of everything. Through exposure training, desensitization, and helping our dog’s face challenges, we build resilience that carries into every part of their lives. Dogs give us unconditional love—teaching them to feel secure and capable is one of the greatest gifts we can return.

Connected Humans

Dogs live in the moment, and they invite us to do the same. My goal is to help people slow down, tune in, and truly connect with their dogs. Whether it’s training, walking, exploring nature, these shared experiences strengthen the bond between human and dog. When we learn to communicate in a way our dogs understand, we find clarity, balance, and a deeper relationship.

Endless Adventures

Trained dogs have more freedom—and more fun! With the right tools, consistency, and clear communication, our dogs can explore the world safely, alongside us. Training opens the door to freedom, and with that freedom comes the joy of endless adventures together.

How We Work Together

I’m here to help you and your dog thrive—even on the busiest days. Whether you need structured training through my Camp Canine Program, enrichment & socialization through Adventure Pack Hikes, or hands-on guidance through Private Lessons, I’m here to support you, so that you don’t have to do it all alone.

Meet Raevin: Guiding Dogs and Inspiring Humans

You and your dog’s personal coach!

My approach to training is all about balance: keeping things simple, building confidence, and making the process enjoyable. I meet every dog-and-owner team exactly where they are at, without judgement, and together we create a clear path forward.

Through The Paper Trail, my art, and writing, I share the reflections, lessons, and stories that come from these journeys—with dogs, with nature, and with life itself. It’s another way I explore connection, growth, and meaning, and I love bringing that creative side into the heart of my work.
