Fear Free certified CPDT-KA
I like to take my time getting to know your dog as an individual. I like to get creative with my training methods while always sticking to Positive-reinforcement and Fear Free methods. I love doing basic obedience but my niche is dogs with behavioral challenges. I love helping them work through fear, anxiety, and stress, especially within the veterinary or grooming setting.
What to expect
Most sessions will last about an hour long, but I continue based it on the dog's responses. Our dogs don't always have the longest attention spans and so focusing for an hour on one thing is a challenge. We will likely discuss and practice several different topics or skills within one session to keep things interesting for the dog and flowing smoothly. My goal is to empower pet parents to be able to confidently work with their pets themselves in order to facilitate the best learning possible and we can often do so successfully both in person and virtually.

Experience
I am a positive-reinforcement based, Fear Free certified dog trainer. I believe the best way to work through behavioral challenges are to learn as much as we can about dogs and their behavior, as well as what our pets find reinforcing. Dogs communicate with us in their own language and it's important to take the time to understand their communication cues. Dogs are individuals and it's essential to figure out what motivates them most. I never judge a pet parent for their struggles with their dog. My goal is to empower pet parents to create a lasting bond with their best furry friend!
