Your Dog's New Best Friend
As a pet parent myself to a multi-pet household I am very good at helping owners brainstorm cost effective ways to keep their dogs healthy and engaged without breaking the bank.

What to expect
Consultation
During a consultation we will discuss your training goals, my methods, costs, and details about your dog. If we are a good match then we can proceed with booking lessons.
Sessions
The first lesson can vary from dog to dog. If a dog is friendly and outgoing with strangers then we will begin immediately working on skills in the first lesson. If they need more time to warm up then the first lesson could primarily focus on desensitization, getting the dog comfortable and answering any questions the owner might have while also walking them through the techniques.
More info
I use only positive reinforcement because there aren't any training issues that can't be resolved though consistency, time and commitment. Additionally, positive reinforcement strengthens the bond between the dog and their person by creating an engaging give and take. My focus is not only on teaching the dog but educating the human so that they can understand dog behavior and proper handling techniques. The first step with every dog is to determine what their motivators are. Then we pair those motivators with luring, shaping, or capturing to build towards the desired final behaviors.
