Pet and service dog trainer

I don’t just train obedience I specialize in training dogs to perform real life tasks for individuals with PTSD, psychiatric disabilities, and medical alert needs. This has given me a deep understanding of how important patience, communication, and emotional connection are in every dog, and handler relationship. I approach all training, from basic manners to advanced skills. with a focus on teamwork, trust, and clarity. I don’t just train your dog, I train you to understand your dog’s behavior, body language, and mindset, giving you the same insight and tools that I as a trainer use.

During your first consultation, we’ll start by getting to know you and your dog. I want to understand your goals, your dog’s personality, and any specific challenges you’re facing.

We will also go over payment different packs you can buy, and all we offer.

Sessions

Typically in your home

Each session is fun, positive, and goal focused. We’ll start by checking in on your dog’s progress, then work hands on to build new skills using reward based training. I’ll coach you along the way so you understand how to keep improving between sessions. Sessions last about 45–60 minutes and always end on a positive note, with clear next steps and a happy, confident dog! Sometimes we have field trips and meet at parks, pet friendly stores and more for training!

I believe dog training isn’t just about teaching your dog, it’s about teaching you how to understand and communicate with them! My goal is to make your life easier and your relationship with your dog stronger and more enjoyable. I use positive, science based training methods focused on rewarding good behavior, building trust, and improving communication. Every dog learns differently, so I tailor each session to your dog’s individual needs and personality I always keeping training fun, kind, and effective.
