Virtual Only Dog Training
I’ve spent 8+ years volunteering at shelters, training dogs in basic obedience and helping them find homes. I use 100% Positive Reinforcement, focusing on trust, confidence, and joy. Trained through Gail Fisher’s All Dogs Academy in 2015, Goodpup in 2025 Doggy Dan Courses in 2026 and nearly finished with CATCH Canine Trainers Academy. I combine science-based methods, shelter experience, and real-life practice with my own dogs to give every pup patience, guidance, and positivity.

What to expect
Consultation
During the consultation, we’ll discuss behaviors and training goals. I like to incorporate Doggy Dans 5 Golden Rules to Every Client. It Eliminates a lot of unwanted behaviors and helps more with Basic Obedience. I’ll also learn your dog’s motivation style (treat or play) and favorite rewards. Bring basic treats, high-value rewards, a clicker (optional), poop bags, and a treat pouch for fast reinforcement. I’ll provide guidance so you can practice skills at home, making training effective and fun.
Sessions
In the first 45-minute session, we focus on Doggy Dans Dog Calming Method. Once the 5 Golden Rules are established we can move onto Basic Obedience Training where 1–2 basic commands will be used to start with, keeping training short and positive to build confidence and focus. Using positive reinforcement with treats, toys, or play, owners receive hands-on guidance to practice at home. Bring your dog’s favorite treats or toys, optional clicker or treat pouch, and poop bags.
More info
I use Positive Reinforcement only, rewarding desired behaviors with praise, play, or treats to build trust, and confidence. I avoid corrections, focusing on consistency, patience, owner involvement, and positive, fun sessions. Lasting results come from a strong trainer-owner partnership, helping dogs learn commands while strengthening bonds with their families.

Availability
Available for Virtual Training Only. I structure my training and pet care services around my son’s school schedule, which allows me to be reliably available during the weekdays: Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays → 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM Wednesdays → 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM (early school release) I am also in the process of arranging respite care, which will soon allow me to offer afternoon and some weekend availability. I’ll update my schedule as soon as those times become available. This routine ensures I can give your pets my full focus and attention during the times I commit.
