Building the dog of your dreams
I'm a force-free and fear-free trainer - so no prongs, e-collars, box feeding or dominance training. My methods focus on improving the communication in your family and with your pet, and building your bond so your dog trusts you, and you can trust their behavior, too.

What to expect
Consultation
During our first meeting, we'll discuss your goals for your pet, any problem behaviors you're seeing, and your experience with training. I'll meet your dog and observe their behaviors, and we'll outline a plan for how to meet your goals.
Sessions
We jump right in from session one - while our starting point varies depending on your dog's needs and your experience level, expect to get working immediately. We'll keep our training sessions a manageable length to set both you and your pet up for success, then debrief and give you a chance to praise your dog dor their hard work, and send you home with activities to practice at home in between sessions.
More info
I started training out of necessity - my reactive shelter dog was a handful that had me considering whether or not I'd made a mistake in adopting her. It took years to develop the skills I needed to communicate with her, but we finally figured out a method that works for us. Now, she's the unofficial spokesdog for clicker training, and I teach my clients how to use positive reinforcement to improve their bond with their dogs and achieve their training goals.
