Training is more than obedience.
What sets me apart is that I don’t just train dogs—I coach the entire human-dog relationship. Every dog is an individual, and every family has different goals, challenges, and lifestyles. I take the time to truly understand both, so training plans are realistic, humane, and built to last.

What to expect
Consultation
Consultations begin with an in-person meeting to ensure we’re a good fit. We’ll discuss goals, assess the dog’s behavior, and review a general training approach. Afterward, I follow up to answer questions and determine if we’d like to move forward together.
Sessions
A typical session is tailored to the dog but usually includes reviewing the previous session, refining any challenges, and introducing the next step in training. I teach and coach the new skill or command, often incorporating a game to keep training engaging and effective. Each session ends with a recap and time for questions. Between sessions, pet parents are encouraged to practice multiple short (10–15 minute) training sessions per day, incorporating both structured reps and play.

My training philosophy’s is lead with positive rewarding system, but use minimal corrections if needed. I like to let the dogs work through the issues themselves, but corrections are needed sometimes for direction.

Availability
I’m flexible with the time of day and can accommodate mornings, afternoons, or early evenings. I currently train part-time, so my availability varies by week, but I’m happy to coordinate schedules to find a time that works well for both the pet parent and the dog.
