What to expect
Consultation
A typical consultation is relaxed, supportive, and focused on getting to know you and your dog. I’ll review history, routine, personality, and goals, while I observe behavior and body language to understand the “why.” I’ll introduce simple, practical exercises with hands-on coaching so you feel confident. Just bring treats and an open mind. You’ll leave with a clear, customized plan and ongoing support so you never feel stuck.
Sessions
A training session is hands-on and tailored to your dog. I start with a check-in, then practice exercises for your goals, like leash skills, manners, or confidence. I guide you step-by-step so you're involved and learning to communicate clearly. Bring treats and consistency. Between sessions, you'll practice simple exercises at home, with clear guidance and support to ensure steady, confident progress. In our sessions you can expect to learn all basic obedience training even if you have some of it down already. All the sessions will be tailored specifically to you and your dog's needs.
More info
100% positive reinforcement. All dogs that I work with are taught with a lot of love and a lot of treats. Dogs are never punished for making a mistake, they are given a chance to make a decision in a positive manner without negative consequences
