Dog Training with a Gentle Touch!
What sets me apart is my bachelor’s in human psychology, which helps me understand both canine behavior and how dogs and people communicate. I believe the human-dog bond is natural and harmonious, built on trust and mutual understanding. Using science-based, positive reinforcement methods, I ensure a stress-free learning experience. I tailor my approach to each dog’s unique needs and follow the NIMA philosophy, empowering owners to build lifelong bonds with their dogs for lasting happiness.

What to expect
Consultation
Bringing home a new puppy is exciting, but early training is key to raising a well-behaved and confident dog. In our first session, I’ll meet you at your home or mine to observe your puppy’s behavior, discuss your goals, and address any concerns. We’ll cover essential topics like potty training, biting, chewing, and socialization.
Sessions
I’ll introduce basic obedience commands like sit, stay, come, and leash manners using positive reinforcement. Each puppy is unique, so I’ll create a personalized training plan tailored to their needs. Puppy training typically requires 4-5 sessions to build a solid foundation for good behavior. You’ll get hands-on guidance, practical tips, and a clear plan to practice between sessions. Plus, enjoy a free 30-minute follow-up to review progress. Please prepare treats and avoid food 3-4 hours before the session.
