Where good dogs learn to be great!

My passion in dog training started from a young age. It all started with my rescue family dog and wanting the best for him. I continue researching and building my wealth of knowledge, striving for the best. Problem solving the cause of behavior and achieving long term success for everyone. I focus on the health and happiness of every pet and pet parent!

What to expect

Consultation

During your consultation, we will discuss behaviors you would like to see differences with and what is your ideal goal for training. I like to go over backgrounds and get to know you and your dog further so I can discover how I can help!

Sessions

Typically in your home

I send a policy and intake form before we meet so that I can construct a training plan that fits your specific needs. Once I have that training plan, a typical session is filled with explanations, showing the "how to", and directing while you practice new behaviors. My training plans include practice that you will continue, when we are not in session, meeting the consistency and repetition needs and build your confidence in training with your dog. I teach how to do it yourself so when we finish our sessions you will be fully prepared and knowledgeable to handle training in the future!

Availability

I'm currently looking to fill some gaps in my already established business. The most gaps are Monday-Thursday, but I will do everything in my power to make something work for my client. I do have an ever changing schedule and availability and the best way to schedule is to reach out to me directly so we can make appointments work for everyone involved.
