Actions speak louder than words!

I come up with a training plan that is unique to each families' situations and their pup. Not one plan works for everybody. My goal is to make it efficient and easy to continue the training for the family after the training is over. Once consistency is established, communication flourishes and everyone is happy. My desire is to keep every dog in their home by helping their parents manage and communicate better with their furry friends!

What to expect

Consultation

We'll set a convenient time to have a free 15-30 min phone or zoom consultation (sometimes longer depending on situation) to discuss your pup and the issues, needs or concerns you're having. I'll suggest some items to have on hand that have proven helpful when we start training.

Sessions

Typically in your home

I go to your house for training so the dog is learning in the environment they live in and where most of their behaviors happen. The first session, I'll meet you and your dog outside on leash for greeting. Then we'll go inside and I'll observe your space and we'll discuss further how to get started in training. I'll run through some skills with your dog to see where he/she is on their obedience so I can see where we need to start or continue from.
