Training that makes dogs smile!

My favorite thing is to watch the person/dog bond grow as you both learn to "speak each other's language." I have a soft spot for dogs who don't feel comfortable in the world. Watching them go from feeling tense on walks to relaxed and smiling makes my day.

What to expect

Consultation

A consultation consists of a customized, in-depth assessment and exploration of your dog’s individual needs in YOUR home, combined with a short first training session.

Sessions

Typically in your home

Training sessions are FUN for you and your dog. All the exercises are games-based, teaching you and your dog the power of patterns. After the session, you will receive an email with attached homework, which includes links to instructional videos to help you review the exercises, as well as printable "cheat sheets" you can put on your fridge to refer to between sessions.

Positive Reinforcement

My mission in life is to make dogs smile. I'm a physician-turned-dog-trainer specializing in teaching dogs life skills, getting puppies off to the right start, and helping fearful and "reactive" dogs feel safe in the world. My methods are 100% science-supported, positive reinforcement/games-based. I look forward to meeting you!
