Trust-Based Training & Manners
As both a certified dog trainer and professional pet sitter since 2016, I’ve spent years working with dogs in their everyday environments; not just training sessions. This allows me to focus on practical, real-life skills while helping owners better understand their dogs and build a stronger relationship with them.
What to expect
Consultation
The consultation is a chance to discuss your goals, review your dog’s history, observe behavior, and determine whether we’re a good fit for training. You’ll receive initial recommendations and a proposed training plan for moving forward.
Sessions
During our first session, we’ll begin working on the goals discussed during your consultation. Training follows a structured, step-by-step approach, with each session building on previous progress while adapting to your dog’s individual needs. To ensure steady progress, sessions are focused on the primary training goals established during your consultation. You’ll receive exercises and recommendations to practice between sessions to help reinforce learning and support continued progress at home.
Reviews
Experience
My training focuses on rewarding desired behaviors, building engagement, and creating clear communication between dogs and their people. Using positive reinforcement, food rewards, and clicker training, I help dogs develop practical skills while building trust and confidence.
