Training done for you!
Many trainers teach you how to train your dog. I take a different approach: I do the foundational work first, then hand off the skills — so you get results without becoming a dog training expert. I specialize in the dogs that need a little more: reactive dogs, rescues, anxious pups, and puppies. I'm a committed problem-solver who won't give up when the first strategy doesn't land, and I build genuine relationships with every dog I work with, dogs of every temperament!

What to expect
Consultation
Every consultation starts with a conversation — your dog's quirks, your daily life, and what success actually looks like for you. No lengthy intake forms, just an honest chat about where you are now and where you want to be. From there I build a plan around your parameters: your schedule, your goals, your pace. There's no prescribed number of sessions — some owners want to hit a few key milestones, others want ongoing support. We figure that out together and take it one tangible step at a time.
Sessions
Sessions come in two flavors depending on what you need at that stage of the journey. Dog-only training: I work directly with your dog based on priorities from our consultation or last session — building on what we've established and moving at their pace. Afterward, you'll receive a recap of what we covered your dog's progress. Owner handoff sessions: When you're ready, I'll give you the guidance to build on the training foundation created. Want to take it from here? Great. Want me to keep doing the training? Also great. There's no wrong choice, just whatever works best for you and your dog!
More info
Most trainers teach you how to train your dog. I do the training for you. Using positive reinforcement, I work directly with your dog — reading their behavioral cues, building skills progressively, and creating a fun, low-pressure environment where they're set up to succeed. Every dog is different, and so is every owner's life. I tailor my approach to your dog's temperament and your goals, whether that's a quick win or a longer journey. When you're ready to take the reins, I'll hand off everything I've learned — no homework until you want it.

Midday works best — it's the perfect window to combine a training session with a walk. Two birds, one stone, and your dog gets mental and physical stimulation while you're at work.
