Dogs smile? Let me show you how.

What sets me apart is 30 years of experience preparing dogs for demanding physical and mental challenges. My ideal clients contact me before they even get a dog, allowing me to help them choose the right breed and puppy for their lifestyle. I find great satisfaction in training everything from basic manners to severe behavioral and aggression issues. It's never too early—or too late—to address a problem. I work with all dogs, regardless of breed, size, age, or level of unwanted behavior, and I never turn a dog away.

What to expect

Consultation

I offer a free phone or video call consultation. I gather information and ask questions based on the clients needs. Im fortunat enough to have many years of doing this. That being said I've pretty much seen it all so I'm able to review notes of past clients with the same needs. That allows me to save the client money by not having to pay for a in home consultation.

Sessions

Typically in your home

There really is no typical session. Every dog is different and every owner trains at different pace. Typically the first session will be me getting to know you and your dog. If its a typical basic training session with a friendly dog I will be loading the dog with special treats and showing them lots of love. Dogs can sence everything about you by smelling you and there experts at reading a person's energy. This is what sets me apart from other trainers. My energy comes across as happy and excited to work with your dog and most importantly my love of dogs.

Training is reward based but earned

Of course! Here's a tighter version under 600 characters: My training method is built on 30 years of experience. Dogs are pack animals seeking a trustworthy, confident leader—not a grouchy "alpha." Training must be fun: dogs read our energy and moods. People often correct bad behavior but forget to give praise.
