ABI certified- ESA/SA specialty
I offer a comprehensive, ethical, and customized training approach focused on kindness, effectiveness, and long-term success. Specializing in ESA and Service Dog training, I develop the skills, behavior, and reliability needed for real-world support. My expertise extends beyond obedience to task training, public access readiness, and behavior modification. I personalize training to fit each dog’s temperament, learning style, and goals, ensuring practical success, whether working with a pet, an ESA, or a service dog in training.

What to expect
Consultation
A consultation starts with a discussion about your dog’s history, temperament, and training goals, including behavioral challenges or ESA/service dog needs. I observe their behavior, confidence, and responsiveness before developing a personalized training plan with key focus areas and step-by-step exercises. I may demonstrate a technique to ensure clarity. I guide you through communication and reinforcement strategies before reviewing a structured training roadmap and discussing ongoing options. By the end, you’ll have a clear plan for success.
Sessions
A training session is structured, engaging, and tailored to your dog’s needs. We start with a check-in to discuss progress and challenges. Then, we move into hands-on training, reinforcing past skills before introducing new behaviors. Using positive reinforcement, I guide your dog through structured exercises with rewards, clear cues, and gradual adjustments. Depending on the goal, sessions may focus on obedience, leash manners, behavior modification, or service/ESA training. I coach you throughout, ensuring consistency. We finish with a review, homework, and next steps for continued success.
More info
My training is based on reward-based learning, encouraging dogs to perform desired behaviors through clear communication, motivation, and reinforcement. I build trust, confidence, and enthusiasm while strengthening the dog-handler bond. I reinforce behaviors with meaningful rewards, use marker words or clickers for feedback, and avoid punishment. Each program is tailored to the dog’s temperament and learning style. I focus on engagement, problem-solving, and confidence-building, ensuring a stress-free, effective, and humane training experience.
