Understand first. Train second.

I use positive reinforcement to help dogs succeed in the real world. I focus on clear communication, consistency, and building confidence so your dog understands both what to do and what not to do.

What to expect

Consultation

During your consultation I review your dogs behavior and get to know your specific goals. From there I will formulate a plan and decide if multiple sessions are needed.

Sessions

Typically in your home

In your first session a plan will already have been created with specific training exercises. Each session, you will be given a detailed printout of things to work on with your dog until the next session. I will also be available for contact if you have questions before the next session.
