About the trainer
Training Philosophy
Royah believes effective training starts with understanding the dog in front of you. Her philosophy centers on clarity, consistency, and empathy—ensuring that learning is both fair and engaging. She tailors each training plan to the dog’s personality, history, and motivations, choosing techniques that prioritize emotional well-being alongside behavioral progress. Her goal is to empower owners with the tools and confidence they need to maintain their dog’s success, creating a harmonious partnership built on trust rather than pressure. For Royah, great training isn’t just about teaching behaviors—it’s about helping dogs and their families thrive together.
Inspiration
Royah’s passion for dog training began at just sixteen when she started volunteering in local shelters. Working hands-on with dogs who needed patience, structure, and second chances sparked a deep desire to understand canine behavior on a deeper level. Seeing how guidance could transform a fearful or misunderstood dog inspired her to pursue training as a lifelong path. That early start laid the foundation for a career built on empathy, curiosity, and a commitment to helping dogs live better, more confident lives.
Professional Experience
With over 12 years of professional experience, Royah has worked extensively across the dog-care and behavior world. She began her career in shelters and daycare environments, eventually training staff and volunteers while gaining experience with dogs of every temperament and background. Her work exposed her to everything from energetic puppies to dogs with significant behavioral challenges, giving her a well-rounded and intuitive skill set. In 2018, she founded her own training business, providing private lessons and behavior programs rooted in clear communication and practical, real-world skills. Although self-taught, she is committed to lifelong learning, regularly attending seminars, workshops, and continuing-education events led by respected trainers and behavior professionals. This dedication ensures she stays current with modern training methods, including positive reinforcement, science-based learning, and balanced approaches.
Training Focus
Royah has extensive experience working with puppies, adolescents, and adult dogs with a wide range of needs. She is particularly skilled in helping dogs overcome reactivity, aggression, anxiety, and confidence issues, while also supporting owners through everyday obedience work and lifestyle structure. Her strength lies in breaking down complex behaviors into simple, achievable steps that owners can confidently maintain. Whether she is guiding a young puppy’s first lessons or helping a more challenging dog rebuild trust, she focuses on creating meaningful, lasting progress that improves daily life for both dog and owner.
