Training for real-life manners
If you’re looking for a trainer who combines science, empathy, and real-world practicality, and who genuinely cares about your dog’s long-term wellbeing, I’d love to work with you.

Consultation
Before our consultation, I may ask you to fill out a questionnaire and send a few videos of your dog in daily situations. This helps me understand your dog’s behavior and prepare more accurately. During the consultation, I'll discuss your dog’s behavior, training goals, and your daily routine so I can understand the full picture. I’ll observe your dog, answer your questions, and recommend the most effective training plan for your needs.
Sessions
Each training session is planned in advance based on your goals and your dog’s individual needs. During the session, you will be the one working directly with your dog, while I guide you through each step — demonstrating when needed, giving feedback, explaining the “why” behind each exercise, and helping you build effective skills. After the session, I’ll outline what to practice at home so you can continue making progress between meetings.
More info
I train dogs using science-based, reward-based methods that are kind, effective, and tailored to each individual dog. Every dog (and family) is different, so I offer an individual, realistic training plans based on your dog’s age, temperament, history, and your lifestyle. We’ll look at the whole picture: daily routines, enrichment, stress levels, and clear communication, not just isolated “bad behaviors.” I do not use techniques based on fear, pain, or dominance. Instead, I focus on trust, clarity, so training feels good for both ends of the leash.
