What to expect

Consultation

During our consultation I will go through your dog’s behavioral and training history with you and create a training plan. We will also begin working on behaviors that day.

Sessions

Typically in your home

A typical session is structured based on your needs- we discuss how you’ve been doing with your homework and what you need more help with. Then we do hands on training!

4 years experience
Positive Reinforcement

I mainly use positive reinforcement- this means that I focus on telling dogs what I’d like them to do rather than scolding them for doing things wrong! Dogs are not born knowing what we want from them and it is our responsibility to teach them in a way that is kind and easy to understand. I do not use physical punishment in my training.
