Patient & supportive partner!
My goal is to improve your relationship with your pup by giving them a good foundation and providing you the support you need. That includes a non-judgmental approach to assess their current development, focused training sessions tailored to their needs, and availability to answer your questions as you continue training and reinforcement at home.

What to expect
Consultation
A consultation allows us up to 30 minutes at your home or a public setting to meet your dog, observe their current development, and understand your goals. Please be prepared to demonstrate existing commands, and provide harness & leash if we will be evaluating outdoor skills and behaviors. Please also have a supply of your dog's typical treats to assist in testing rewards. I will provide basic recommendations for tactics you can apply yourself, and an honest evaluation of whether my services will be helpful to you in advancing your training goals.
Sessions
Training sessions will be scheduled for 60 minutes by default; timing and price can be adjusted if your needs differ. Depending on the skills being developed, these can be scheduled for indoors in your home, or outdoor training starting from your home or a public place. You will need to be available along with the pet for the entirety of the first session while we evaluate their ability to respond to an independent trainer. It is recommended that you schedule these sessions for a time of day after the dog has had their daily exercise to improve their ability to focus on training.
More info
I primarily use reward-based positive reinforcement for training new skills and commands. I'll adapt the approach based on your dog and their current behaviors, including developing strategies for existing behaviors that need to be curbed.
