Kindness Creates Confidence
I have a background in working with/training in a zoo setting with multiple species from mice to mountain lions. I have also shown dogs in the show ring and multiple of my past clients have dogs who have earned or are currently earning titles through the AKC, NASDA, Do More With Your Dog, and more.

What to expect
Consultation
During your consultation we will go over basic introduction information for both you and your dog, your training goals, challenges you may be experiencing with your dog, your pups daily routine and preferences, and answer any initial questions you might have for me. If you feel like I am the trainer for you we will then go over setting up our training plan and booking sessions. *I do require proof of up to date vaccinations before sessions begin*
Sessions
Typically we will start sessions off by answering any questions or going over how practice between sessions went. Then we will jump into what we are learning for that session based on our training plan. I usually end sessions with assigning "homework" to practice between sessions and making sure clients have a good understanding of what was taught during the session. I always ask clients to have their dog wear their collar/harness and a leash as well as be stocked up with whatever form of reinforcement works best for their dog
More info
I am a positive reinforcement based trainer that focuses on teaching cooperative care, and foundational skills all dogs and pet owners may need to enjoy a happy life together.
