I’m proud to be the first Fear Free Certified Professional Dog Trainer in Northern Minnesota AND one the second trainer worldwide to earn the Certified Cooperative Care Trainer credential.
Certified Family Dog Mediator & Fear Free Certified Professional
As a Certified Family Dog Mediator and Fear Free Certified Professional dog trainer, I specialize in bridging communication gaps, building trust, and enhancing understanding between you and your dog with strategies designed to reduce fear, anxiety, and stress
I’m especially passionate about supporting dogs with big feelings, guiding families in raising well-adjusted puppies, and helping dogs feel at ease with routine care like vet visits and grooming.
I work with clients locally and virtually, as I believe location should never be a barrier to compassionate, high-quality behavioral care.
Kindness, Empathy, Compassion
I’m committed to understanding the whole dog—from environmental influences to their unique genetics—and using only force-free, science-based methods that support both ends of the leash with empathy, skill, and integrity.
Gentle, Humane, & Positive
Adhering to *AVSAB, PPG, IAABC, & FearFree recommendations, I prioritize dog training methods that are gentle, humane, & positive, ensuring a stress-free and enjoyable experience for both you and your dog. No force, no pain, no fear.

I reached out to Angela to help with puppy training and it was a great experience. Unlike going to obedience classes or a one time lesson, she offers a subscription, so we could schedule regular, in home training. This allowed one on one work in our home environment so she could guide me thru all the nuances of teaching our pup. (And teaching us!) I was so appreciative of all the tips and explanations. We learned basic commands but then worked on grooming, dental and ear care, curbing naughty behaviors, good walking manners and appropriate greeting and recall work. (And more) So common sense and I was blown away by how quickly things came together. I highly recommend her. And so does Louie!
Rediscover the joy of your dog’s companionship with customized virtual, in-person, or hybrid training options that meet your dog’s unique needs & your individual circumstances.
What an amazing difference Serenity dog training has made in our lives! Our high energy pup has calmed down so much since we began the program. Taking a positive reinforcement aproach to training has made all the difference in effectively training our dog. Before beginning this training we used a prong collar for walking our dog. With the tools we’ve learned from Serenity Dog training, we are able to walk without the prong collar (and remove all guilt on our part and pain on the dog’s part). With the tools fostered by Angela I am confident we will foster and maintain a much better relationship with our young pup.
Together, we’ll help your dog be their best self, with dedicated support for every step of your journey. You won’t have to do it alone anymore.
We were very pleased with our dog training sessions with Angela! We came to her with our pup’s behavior challenges and she successfully guided us through ways to change those behaviors. We were most happy with how she listened to our needs, provided check-ins, and immediate feedback. She also provided amazing additional resources to help us! You can tell she really loves to help us humans provide a happy home for our furry friends. We highly recommend Angela of Serenity Dog Training!
Meet The Trainer
Dog training is an unregulated industry, so there isn’t yet a formal path to becoming a professional trainer.
After earning my bachelor’s degree in biology, I’ve focused on developing my skills in positive reinforcement behavior modification, including becoming a Certified Family Dog Mediator, Fear Free Certified Professional, and Certified Cooperative Care Trainer.
Whether it’s teaching manners or addressing behavior issues, I use rewards-based training as recommended by leading organizations in animal welfare like the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior. It’s effective, humane, and enjoyable for both you and your dog.
As a proud member of the Pet Professional Guild and a Fear Free Certified Professional, I’m committed to force-free, science-based methods that alleviate fear, anxiety, and stress for your dog.
How you train your dog matters. That’s why I choose kindness in all my work with dogs and their humans. Learn more here
