Positive Methods, Positive Change!
With over 10 years of experience training puppies in Los Angeles, I specialize in science-based crate training and positive reinforcement methods. My approach is grounded in studies of animal husbandry, ethology, and canine behavior, and I’m a certified dog trainer through Animal Behavior College (2015). I currently teach AKC Canine Good Citizen group classes and offer private sessions in the Beach Cities of Southern California. My training is compassionate, effective, and tailored to help both you and your adult dog and/or puppy build a lasting foundation of trust and communication.
Behavior experience
Training skill set
My mission is to foster positive, lasting relationships between dogs and their owners through compassionate, effective training. I strive to empower dogs with the skills they need to thrive, while guiding owners to develop confidence, consistency, and understanding. Through customized training plans and a focus on positive reinforcement and Science Based Training Methods, I aim to create well-behaved, happy dogs and harmonious households.

What to expect in your consultation
**Consultation Overview:** During your consultation, we’ll discuss your dog’s behavior, training goals, and the number of sessions recommended to meet those goals. I’ll also assess your dog’s environment and current equipment. Upon enrolling in further training, I’ll provide tailored recommendations to ensure you have the essential tools for success.
Prepare for your first session
**Requirements for Your First Session** To set your pup up for success, I'll expect that you'll have the following ready: * Signed Training Agreement Waiver (I'll email it to you beforehand) * Training, Bite & Socialization History * Proof of Vaccinations * Your dog on a leash * A few rewards (treats, toy, or chew bones/edible chews) * Other household dogs not in the session should be kept in a separate area to minimize distractions. Looking forward to working with you and your dog!
