Experience the power of positivity!
I am newly certified in positive reinforcement training and excited to share what I have learned with your family. I am still learning every day and growing as a trainer. Because I am just getting my start, the training techniques are fresh in my mind. I am constantly analyzing my training approach, and adjusting to meet the needs of each of my families. My love of dogs comes through in my every action and they respond with enthusiasm and excitement. We can build a program together that works for you and your dog. I hope you will give me a chance to show you what we can accomplish together.

What to expect
Consultation
During our initial meeting, we will discuss your dog and what he / she is like. What drives them, what do they enjoy most? We will discuss your family dynamic and what you need to feel successful and happy as a dog family. We will determine where they are at currently in their training journey, and if there are any behavioral issues. We want to start by laying out what the most important things are to you. We will discuss recommendations for a training plan. Frequency, duration, and prioritization.
Sessions
In our first session, we will meet the dog where they are and work through our techniques together. You will get hands-on practice training with your pup. Our goals will be building that positive association for your pup, and you! We want you to leave the session feeling confident that you can carry out the necessary "homework" to prepare for the next session. We want your dog to leave the session feeling good about what they have experienced, and wanting to come back for more.
More info
My top priority in training dogs is to keep the experience positive. We start by fostering a love of learning in our dogs. They want to learn, and they want to please us. When we start with positive association, they are excited to train and they seek it out. We help them build their confidence while strengthening their bonds with us and developing important skills that will keep them safe. They get to live their best life (and we get to live ours, too!) I use the positive reinforcement training techniques that I learned while earning my dog training certificate with GoodPup.

I have a flexible schedule and can work with your family to meet your time constraints. Currently, Fridays/Saturdays/Sundays/Mondays between 9:00 am and 7:00 pm are best. There are additional days/times through the week that I can meet for training, it just depends on bookings for my other services.
