Paws, Claws & Feathered Training

I have an associates degree in animal behavior, as well as training. Knowing why an animal does (or doesn't do) certain behaviors can help us improve their training program to effectively get them where you need. While most of my 15 years of experience has been in caretaking, training is one of the areas I also enjoy as well.

What to expect

Consultation

During your consultation, we will review your concerns about your fur kiddo, as well as any specific trained behaviors you would like. From there We can come up with a training plan for your where loosely we can map out how long\many sessions it should take for your kiddo to be where you'd like. Each animal and training plan is unique, if there are multiple animals, each one will receive an individual training plan.

Sessions

Typically in your home

You are just as important for training as I am, so be prepared to participate with your kiddo at the end of the session. For the first half of a session I will train with your fur kiddos to concrete old behaviors\tricks and train new ones. Once we've got that down, I'll need you to join the party to make sure we're both doing the same actions, and you're able to keep up with training while I'm not there.
