Health/mental state is a priority!

While owning my own pack walking company that specializes in off leash group hikes in the wilderness, I have learned hands on how to manage and teach dogs how to become a good canine citizen on and off leash. I’ve also studied alongside many colleagues in the industry and is well versed in canine behavior. I always use positive reinforcement before anything else and have seen the best results! I’ve also spent years in various dog training facilities and environments, learning from colleagues to constantly improve my methods as the years go on.

What to expect

Consultation

During consultations, I always ask the important questions. I find out the dog’s history and past behaviors, current routines, and what has and has not worked in the past. I get to know you and your dog on a personal level. We just hang out as buddies so I can get a good picture of how life is like before we get down to the nitty gritty! This is the time to ask me all the questions you may have as well, about my methods, knowledge, techniques etc.

Sessions

Typically in your home

During the first session, I go over the basics of dog psychology and teach you how to think like a leader! Every dog needs a great leader! We address some of the behavioral concerns and get right to work! Between sessions, I’d like for you, the owner, to work on homework. This will be discussed in detail during each session.

Positive Reinforcement

Positive reinforcement is one of the most widely recommended and humane dog training methods. It focuses on rewarding behaviors you want to see again, rather than punishing unwanted behavior. When used consistently, dogs learn faster, build confidence, and develop a stronger bond with their handler. This method is especially effective for obedience, agility, behavior modification, and confidence building!
