Expert Training for Complex Needs

With international experience, including work in Asia, I’ve handled highly reactive, aggressive dogs with bite histories, as well as pets with medical, emotional, and behavioral needs. I specialize in complex cases, multi-pet households, and use patient, customized, and compassionate training to meet each pet’s unique needs.

What to expect

Consultation

++SCHEDULE BOOKS 1-3 WEEKS IN ADVANCE++ During a 60-minute training consultation, I take the time to get to know both you and your pet. We’ll discuss your goals, your pet’s history, daily routine, and any specific challenges you’re facing. I’ll observe your pet’s behavior, assess their environment, and start identifying the root causes behind the issues. Together, we’ll create a personalized, practical training plan that fits your lifestyle and sets your pet up for success. You’ll leave the session with a clear understanding of your next steps and the tools to start making progress right away.

Sessions

Typically in your home

During training sessions, we’ll work hands-on with your pet, practicing the skills and exercises outlined in your custom plan. I’ll guide you through each step, explain the techniques, and adjust as needed to keep your pet progressing at their own pace. Consistency is key, so I'll give you simple, manageable homework to practice between sessions. Your participation is an important part of your pet’s success, but I’ll make sure you feel supported and confident every step of the way. Between sessions, I’m available for questions and will check in to track progress and troubleshoot as needed.

Positive Reinforcement

At the heart of my training approach is a simple belief: training should build trust, confidence, and communication between you and your dog. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions — every animal is an individual, and every family has unique goals. That’s why I take a thoughtful, personalized approach to each training plan.
