Relationship and results-based

I focus on building a relationship with you and your dog that’s based on trust and respect. We start with establishing a clear communication system and learning what motivates your dog before working on behavior changes. Dogs learn best when they are relaxed, engaged, and rewarded for good behavior.

What to expect

Consultation

Learning about your challenges and goals with your dog. I'll develop a training plan to meet your needs and itemize things you'll need for the first session.

Sessions

Typically in your home

If we've already done a phone consultation, we'll dive right in to training and start teaching you how to clearly communicate with your dog. You'll be assigned homework between sessions to help build solid skills and behavior.
