Dog Trainer & Behavior Specialist

I specialize in behavior modification and training shelter and rescue dogs who've endured abuse, trauma, neglect, and abandonment. I have a strong background that's too much to list here. I've provided classes, workshops and countless training and behavior modification sessions for dog owners in their homes.​ My goal is to help the most vulnerable dogs to thrive in their homes. These are the dogs I care about most deeply and I will continue serving them and their owners as long as I'm able.

What to expect

Consultation

During your consultation, we'll review your dog's background, behavior & training goals. I will then recommend a number of sessions to achieve these goals and get you on the schedule.

Sessions

Typically in your home

Sessions are typically a combination of teaching you and your dog. What is taught first very much depends on the emotional response of your dog to different environments and stimuli. A dog that is very nervous will have a different plan than one that is more outgoing. Helping your dog to feel great about the training process is the first and top priority.

Positive Reinforcement

Only use science and study based training using positive reinforcement techniques. Punishing methods using pain, fear and intimidation create conflict and avoidance behaviors, which is what it doesn't work. Dogs should LOVE training and engaging with their handler. Reinforcement creates strong engagement and a dog who's excited about doing what you ask, which is why it does work.
