Better Communication Starts Here!
I have been through many struggles with my own dogs and have appreciated the dog professional trainers I met along the way. They taught me and inspired me, and I hope that I can pass that along.

What to expect
Consultation
I prefer to do a consultation on the phone before scheduling any sessions to make sure we're a good fit. The consultation is FREE.
Sessions
In your first session, I will meet with you and your dog and talk with you more about your goals for training. That will also give me a chance to see your dog in action. We will problem solve the issue together and come up with a plan. I will coach you through the plan - step by step - and send you written notes after each meeting. The notes will summarize what we worked on and will include specific skills that you can work on with your dog.
More info
I have been training dogs my whole life, starting with my first dog - a golden retriever - in AKC obedience. Having volunteered at three different animal shelters in two different states, I have been fortunate to encounter many different breeds and temperaments. One-sized training does not fit all. These days, I mostly work with building foundations for new puppies and adult dog behavior problems (excluding aggression cases). I try to listen to the dog as much as I can before barging in with my own ideas about what needs to happen in any scenario.
