Hi, I’m Lindsey
I know that working with a trainer can feel a little intimidating, so let me introduce myself. I’ve owned and trained dogs for as long as I can remember, and my goal is simple: to help you and your dog build a balanced relationship that brings more freedom, fun, and confidence to your life together.
My Story
My love for training started with a border collie named Buddy, the dog who showed me just how smart and willing dogs can be. From there, I trained dogs on and off while growing up and spent several years working with a rescue.
​
During undergrad, I fell in love with Australian Shepherds, and after earning my BA in Communications, I knew I wanted to keep dogs at the center of my life. Over the years, I’ve expanded my training experience across many breeds — from herding dogs to doodles, shepherds, terriers, and even Newfoundlands. Every dog I’ve worked with has added something new to my journey.​​
Experience + Credentials​
I’m proud to bring both passion and professional experience to my work:
AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator
Mentor for AKC Juniors in the conformation ring
Canine sports competitor in conformation, barn hunt, dock diving, and tricks (earning multiple titles with my own dogs)

Training Focus
I specialize in herding breeds like Australian Shepherds, Border Collies, Miniature American Shepherds, Corgis, and Mini Aussies, I’ve also worked with a wide range of dogs, including Belgian Tervurens, German Shepherds, doodles, poodles, terriers, and Newfoundlands.

My Training Philosophy
At Stillwater Ranch, training isn’t just about commands. It’s about building a good, stable, balanced relationship between you and your dog. My goal is for you to have the freedom to do all the fun things you dream of with your dog, without the stress of misbehavior getting in the way.
