Behavioral Consultant & Trainer
I am a passionate behavioral consultant, emphasizing evidence-based, positive reinforcement methods in canine rehabilitation and training. I have over ten years of full-time experience in canine socialization and behavior modification. I have extensive experience and specialization in aggression treatment and management. My other specialty areas include puppy socialization and training, separation anxiety and reactivity. I also offer 30 and 60 minute virtual training at a more affordable rate. Please feel free to message me to discuss your needs and together we can determine the best approach.

What to expect
Consultation
I'm happy to discuss your dog's behaviors and your concerns prior to you booking an appointment. We'll also discuss your training goals. If you're dealing with complex behavioral concerns, I may ask for some video examples of the behaviors. I'll answer any questions you have and together we'll decide if I'm a good fit to help you and your dog. Feel free to send me a message on Rover and I will respond as soon as I'm available.
Sessions
Training sessions are entirely unique and customized to individual clients and their dog(s). Typically however, we'll review your training concerns and goals first. Next, I will observe your dog first-hand to assess their behaviors. I'll develop a training and management plan and then together we will get to work! If you're interested in virtual training sessions, please message me first to make sure your training needs are a good fit for this option.
More info
I employ a science based, positive approach to my training methods. I love motivating dogs by building their confidence and teaching them how to access rewards! Typically, obedience training is only one component in solving problem behaviors. My training philosophy takes a holistic approach and includes taking into account the emotional state of your dog in order to understand what is driving their behaviors. My approach is centered around teaching my clients how to engage, communicate and interact with their dogs more effectively and in time, to empower them to become their own dog trainer!
