Learn to speak dog!
I take dog training seriously, but I also find it to be super fun-even when working with challenging situations. Often people will feel guilty or blame themselves when a dog is doing something undesirable. I will help you move forward without judgement. Working with your dog brings a depth of communication and understanding that is beyond words. I will work with you to find solutions that work for you.

Consultation
During our consultation, I will ask you for information about your dog, such as age, breed, personality, your observations, and any potential health conditions, allergies. I will also ask you what your goals are for training and/or behavior modification. Are you looking for puppy training, basic skills, or does your dog have anxiety or leash reactivity, or some other behavior you would like to work on. We can discuss a potential approach to meeting your goals.
Sessions
A typical session involves working directly with your dog. If we are doing fundamental manners-type training, we will dive right in to get your dog moving towards learning those basic behaviors every dog should know. If we are working on modifying an unwanted behavior we will meet your dog where he/she is now and work towards achieving those training goals in a fear- and force-free method.
More info
My philosophy is rooted in techniques that prioritize the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of your dog using methods that work for you. Whether it is dog training you are looking for, or behavior modification, I will work with you to not only eliminate or minimize undesirable behaviors, but to understanding the ‘why’ behind their actions. Through positive reinforcement, we will not only shape positive behaviors but also cultivate a profound, trusting bond between you and your pup.
