Frustrated? Been there. I can help!
I offer 21+ years of hands-on, humane training with dogs of every size and temperament, grounded in science from University of Washington (Applied Animal Behavior). I’ve trained and competed in dog sports, studied dog aggression, and completed Karen Pryor Academy coursework. Clients describe me as calm, compassionate, and easy to work with. I tailor plans to your dog and your family, delivering practical, lasting results.

What to expect
Consultation
Free Zoom Consultation Overview Our first consultation will be held via Zoom and is completely free of charge. During this session, I will: Gather important information about you and your dog. Discuss the specific behaviors you would like to encourage or reduce. Learn about your goals and the strategies you are currently using. Identify any limitations or challenges that may affect your progress. This initial meeting will help us create a personalized plan to support your dog’s behavior and training journey.
Sessions
We meet in person and start right in on training games. Based on the information gathered during the consultation, we may require essential training tools such as treats, a leash, a harness, or a collar. We will start with the fundamentals to create a strong foundation for achieving our final goal. Throughout the sessions, we will explain the differences between behaviors that are normal, those that can be managed, and those that require training. Understanding this distinction is very helpful in guiding your dog’s progress and ensuring a successful training experience.
