Positive trainer and avid hiker
Pet care experience
I have been handling and training dogs at daycares, puppy and adult day schools, and pet stores for over a decade, and I’m currently working on my certification through the Karen Pryor Academy for professional dog trainers. I prioritize safety and the use of positive reinforcement to keep dogs physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy, and I particularly enjoy helping fearful dogs become more calm and confident with clicker training.
Reviews
My dog has had an excellent day w Coy. This guy is a dog expert in every way. My dog and his little heeler got on well and when I got home my dog was well fed, exercised and very content. He had her all day in my home and I would definitely use his services again.
About Coy G.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am gentle, but firm and consistent. I use treats and other rewards paired with a marker to reinforce and shape the behaviors I want, and will use ‘time outs” to enforce necessary boundaries. Your dog will not pull me or get away with problem behaviors, but I also make sure not to be scary and spend more time rewarding them when they do well.
Information Coy G. would like to know about your pet
I need to know if your dog has any history of fear, anxiety, or aggression so that I can understand the triggers and keep everyone safe, or if there are any medical conditions or allergies I should be aware of. I also want to see proof of vaccinations if my own dog or another client are going to potentially be interacting.
A typical day
Every day I play frisbee, tug, and fetch with my dog as well as mat work to teach her how to be calm, and a hike, trail run, or public training walk on top of normal potty walks. I also have all sorts of high quality toys and food puzzles to share, and my dog loves to play chase and tug with her friends. I will do training walks, long line hikes, and public desensitization with fearful or excited dogs for additional charge
