Virtual Behavior Specialist

I have a strong passion for keeping happy dogs in happy homes. My love for dogs led me to complete a diplomacy program in canine behaviour science and technology, with a focus on behaviour modification. In addition I extended my education to specialize in aggression to better understand and assist owners in handling complex behaviours. I have 10 years of experience working as a trainer through formats like virtual sessions, group classes, board n train programs and private lessons. I strive to help owners build a better bond with their dog.

What to expect

Consultation

Consultations are designed to asses your dogs current behaviour to develop an individualized training plan for your needs. I will work to obtain a clear understanding of your goals and any supporting factors such as lifestyle, health and nutrition. We will discuss your current concerns and what you would like to achieve moving forward. With a behaviour consultation, you will receive a custom training plan, recommended routine modifications to go with your training plan and resources that can help offer you immediate relief.

Sessions

Typically in your home

A typical session is 30 minutes and takes place virtually through Google meet or Zoom. Sessions will combine educational lessons with live coaching. My goal is to guide you and your dog through procedures with immediate feedback for the most progress. Virtual training has the benefit of in home coaching that gives you the hands on skills to modify and maintain life long change. This means you and your dog can excel together as you learn to apply procedures without the interference of a secondary person. From basic obedience to intense behaviour modification, virtual training can cover it all!
