Fear-Free, Force-Free, Forever.
My training methods are science-based, free from punishment and force and aim to not only help improve your pup's overall mental health but set you, their caretakers, up for ongoing success. My services cover a wide range of dogs and their needs, ranging from obedience training for puppies to more advanced problem-solving for adult dogs experiencing anxiety, compulsions or aggressive-type behaviors. I am a Certified Behavior Consultant - one of only 17 in the state of Illinois - and registered veterinary nurse with a passion for all things canine.

What to expect
Consultation
During your consultation I will evaluate your dog's behavior and discuss your training goals. I’ll demonstrate effective techniques during your session and provide personalized guidance tailored to your dog's needs.
Sessions
In our training sessions we will engage in fun, interactive exercises that might focus on obedience, socialization or reducing anxiety. Each session is tailored to your dog’s unique needs, teaching and rewarding them for appropriate behaviour, building their confidence and strengthening the bond between you both. After each session, and when necessary, you will receive comprehensive follow-up notes to support what we’ve learned.

Hi, I'm Frankie, a CCPDT-Certified Canine Behaviour Consultant! I do not subscribe to the (extensively debunked and outdated) 'dominance' or 'alpha theory' behaviour models, and instead rely on up-to-date research and scientific study to inform my training methods. I aim to extend the compassion I show my canine clients to their caregivers, too, and will never judge, blame or shame you for your pup's behavioural issues.
