"Reliable, Force Free, Pup Trainer

When your hire me you are hiring a library of training tools, techniques, and commands at your disposle. Your dogs happiness and safety are my top priority everyday. I myself have a 9 year old border collie named buddy who is like a son to me. I am certified as a Goodpup trainer. Goodpup specializes in force free positive reinforcement. I know the ABCs of training and can help you and your pet live a more peaceful obedient life. I have had great success with daily walks to help with fear, anxiety, aggression, and over all loose leash behavior. I can handle the biggest of dogs and get them to love being rewarded and follow your commands. If you have a small dog I can help them overcome stranger danger and help them be more happy than fearful when strangers approach. If 1 tactic isn't working don't worry I have a lot more cards and entire training books to fall back into when it comes to success.

Safety, trust & environment

I do not have a vehicle so everything is though walking. I do have a fenced in area at home if needed but all walks should be within your area.

So far great!!. He is really patient with my dogs, and they warmed up to him quicker than they normally do. So I was quite happy about that.

Did an outstanding job with the three of them. They really enjoyed going out for a walk, and the leash training was definitely very useful. Let's see what next week brings.
