Creating better bonds!

I love to learn new techniques and styles that other trainers have so I can handle as many different cases as I can. I am a diverse trainer and love helping clients, whether it be for a hyper puppy, a scared rescue, or a dog with some attitude. Basic manners, Behavior modification, and anxiety are my specialty. Let me help you teach your pup how to be the best!

What to expect

Consultation

A typical consultation consists of me coming to your home where the dog is most comfortable. There I will ask questions to get the full details of what my client needs/wants from their dog. I will also observe the pup to get my own professional assessment of the pup to recommend the best training plan to the client.

Sessions

Typically in your home

Each session will be different and based on the client’s particular requests for behaviors. Each session will have time set for me to explain a technique/tool, then to demonstrate how to use it to get the dog to understand what I’m asking. Next, I allow clients to try, and correct them when needed. Then we discuss any questions and homework for the client to work on.

Positive Reinforcement

I am a reward based trainer. I always begin with the least intrusive tools and techniques (such as treats, toys, and praising) to help curve a dogs behavior. Only when necessary will I suggest tools that most people are uneducated with. When needed, I make sure my clients know exactly why and how to use these tools with the most humane methods.
