As a newer trainer, my goal is to take the time to train right. No training should be rushed and is meant to be sustainable.

Consultation
1. Goals & Priorities: What the owner wants to achieve 2. Dog Background: Age, breed, history, medical issues, daily routine 3. Behavior Assessment: Specific challenges 4. Environment & Lifestyle: Home setup, schedule, family members, other pets 5. Training History: What’s been tried before and results 6.

Sessions
We’ll always start with a quick check-in on progress and challenges, then move into guided training where I’ll demonstrate techniques and coach you in real time. You’ll practice with your dog while I give feedback, adjust timing, and fine-tune your approach. We’ll wrap up with take aways, simple homework, and next steps—so you feel confident continuing the work between sessions.

Availability
I have full availability, but weekends and evenings are best for training I find. At least 60-90 minutes are needed per session. My schedule will fluctuate around my existing Rover schedule. Always allow a 15 minute buffer at our start time due to traffic.
