What to expect

Consultation

In my 30-minute consultation, I use positive reinforcement to lay the foundation for your dog’s success. We’ll review safety and equipment needs, observe your dog’s behavior to assess their training level, and discuss goals and issues like barking or jumping. I create a personalized treatment plan with clear steps tailored to your pup. Fill out a personality test and registration form before booking. Available Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays, it’s an insightful first step to a happier dog!

Sessions

Typically in your home

My 30–45 min training session brings your dog’s personalized plan to life with positive reinforcement. I require vaccination records and a signed waiver for safety. We focus on cues like “sit” or behaviors like less jumping, tailored to your pup. I review progress, guide you and your dog through rewarding exercises, and coach you to practice at home. Tips and plan updates end the session. Available Sat, Sun, Mon, it’s a fun way to transform your pup and bond!

Positive Reinforcement

My training philosophy is positive reinforcement, a science-backed method that builds trust and bonds between dogs and owners. I reward desired behaviors—like sitting or calm leash walking—with treats, praise, or play, avoiding punishment. This fosters confidence and joy in learning, creating a fun, stress-free experience. My goal is for dogs and owners to grow together through mutual respect and clear communication. (Available Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays.
