About Me
Based in St. Louis, MO, I specialize in helping dogs rediscover trust, confidence, and connection – especially those from tough beginnings.
​
As a Fear Free certified, IAABC Shelter Behavior Associate, and AKC Evaluator, I bring over five years of dog rescue experience and a strong foundation in positive reinforcement.
Before working with dogs, I spent six years in equine rescue, where I developed a deep respect for how animals learn, heal, and grow when given patience and compassion.
​
My path to dog training was shaped not just by a lifelong love of animals, but also by personal experience with trauma. I understand what it means to feel afraid, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward. That’s why I’m especially drawn to working with behavioral cases – dogs who are feral, fearful, shut down, or struggling to adjust. Together, we work at their pace, building trust and helping them feel safe in the world again.
​
At Canine Confidence by Randy, I don’t just teach obedience – I help dogs and their people rebuild relationships from the ground up. Every dog deserves to feel safe, seen, and understood – and so do you. Let’s build confidence, together.
