Hi! I’m Abby, the owner and head trainer of A Quiet Canine.

I founded A Quiet Canine in 2023, the name inspired by my personal dog, Quiet. My goal is simple: to help dogs and their owners build a better life together through clear communication and balance as well as to create lasting results.

I have been professionally working with dogs for over the last 10+ years as a balanced dog trainer, as well as several years working in veterinary medicine, professional grooming and dog walking.

My passion also extends beyond pet dog training. I have been actively competing in dog sports with my Belgian Malinois, Quiet for the last 5 years. Together we’ve earned the first leg of our PSA 2 title. Training at this level has taught me the importance of precision, patience and building confident clear-headed dogs that can perform not only at home, but under pressure as well.

When I’m not training dogs, you’ll usually find me hiking with our personal dogs, exploring nature or creating music on the side. I’m extremely passionate about continuing my education as I believe the best trainers are the ones that never stop learning.

At home, we have three dogs of our own; Atlas who is an almost 9-year-old Pomeranian x min pin x Chihuahua mix, and Quiet and Azula our two 5-year-old Belgian Malinois’ who are sisters! Our dogs are our family, and they remind me every day why I love what I do and why building such a solid healthy relationship is so incredibly important. My goal isn’t to just simply teach obedience or modify behavior, it’s to help owners better understand their dogs, strengthen their bond and enjoy life together with confidence.

Thank you so much for always trusting me with your dogs and to be such a large part of their journey. I feel incredibly lucky to be able to help you all achieve your goals!
