Train with Karissa!
I’ll meet you right where you are and shape each session around your needs. Through effective, ethical, science-based training, we will grow your knowledge and skill set, and strengthen the bond between you and your pup. Rather than focusing solely on training the dog, we will work together to build a strong line of communication between you and your furry friend. Our focus will be on building a true partnership, not just obedience.

What to expect
Consultation
During your consultation we will review your dog's background and behavior. We will go over your training goals and estimate the number and frequency of sessions that will best fit your needs. I will observe your pup's behavior in general as well as any specific behaviors you'd like me to see.
Sessions
In your first session we will work on foundation skills for both you and your dog. These skills will be building blocks for each session as we work towards your goals. Reinforcers: Please bring treats that your dog loves, cut up into pea-sized pieces. A treat pouch is an excellent tool. I will have an extra one on hand, but I recommend you have one for your training practice between sessions. Use mealtimes strategically: if possible, for evening sessions, wait to feed dinner until after the session. For morning sessions, you can feed half portion.
More info
In addition to giving you the skills to train ethically and effectively, I focus on coaching you to understand your dog's behavior and learning/training theory. With easy and fun training exercises, I aim to empower you with knowledge of canine behavior and force-free/fear-free methods.
