Personalized Positive Dog Training
I specialize in helping fearful and reactive dogs feel safer and more confident in the world. Through positive reinforcement, welfare-based training plans, I help dogs and their people live better together. I offer two ways to work together: Coaching Sessions (Trainer + Owner): One-hour sessions available as one-time, weekly, or bi-weekly packages. Hands-on, step-by-step guidance to help you build confidence and clear communication with your dog. North Seattle Home School: (4 weeks) 3 30-minute trainer–dog sessions, plus 1 transfer session each week to help you continue the progress at home.

What to expect
Consultation
Before our session, you’ll complete a behavior intake form (due at least 24-48 hours before your consultation). During our consultation, we’ll: * Review your dog’s behavior history, environment, and overall wellness * Discuss your training goals and what success looks like for you and your dog * Identify factors contributing to current behavior concerns * Create immediate, actionable steps to start improving behavior right away * Talk about ongoing coaching options for continued progress and support
Sessions
Each training session is customized to your dog’s needs and your training goals. Whether we’re working on basic manners, reactivity, or cooperative care, you can expect: * Step-by-step coaching so you feel confident practicing with your dog * Clear demonstrations of training techniques and real-life applications * Real-time feedback to help you fine tune your training * Progress tracking so we can celebrate wins and make adjustments
More info
I use positive reinforcement training to help dogs and their humans build strong, trusting relationships. Instead of using fear or force, I focus on reinforcing desirable behaviors and teaching dogs what we want them to do, rather than punishing mistakes. I aim to help you understand your dog’s needs, body language, and emotions so training feels like teamwork. When we train in a way that respects your dog’s comfort and choice, they learn faster and feel happier, making your bond stronger than ever.

Availability
I’m available for consultations and training sessions Tuesday through Thursday from 5 –7 PM, and Saturdays from 10 AM – 4 PM. Most sessions take place in your home or at a suitable public location. I also offer virtual sessions which are great for dogs who are more comfortable learning without the stress of new people, or for guardians who prefer remote coaching.
