Comprehensive Training That Works

What sets me apart is the depth of my education and my commitment to welfare-driven training. I’ve completed advanced coursework with leading experts in aggression, behavior science, and cooperative care, and I frequently collaborate with veterinarians and behaviorists. This means your dog benefits from the most up-to-date, compassionate methods. Beyond credentials, I pride myself on building trust—helping dogs feel safe, understood, and supported every step of the way.

What to expect

Consultation

We will set up a exploratory call to discuss the behavior history and depending on the behavioral needs and goals. Afterwards, we'll choose a package and program that meets those needs.

Sessions

Typically in your home

Once we've scheduled our initial appointment, I'll come to you (unless safety concerns prevent it) and we'll conduct our in-person assessment along with our first session. You'll receive learning materials covering the exercises I've introduced, and we'll repeat the in-person sessions until we've completed the package.

Positive Reinforcement

Hi, I’m Joshua! I’m a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner, Certified Service Dog Coach™, and Certified Professional Pet Sitter with 15+ years of experience. I use positive reinforcement and science-based methods to support puppies, new adoptions, manners training, and complex behavior cases including fear, anxiety, aggression, and resource guarding. I also specialize in cooperative care, muzzle training, and service dog task work. My goal is safe, compassionate care that helps dogs and people thrive.
