Tailored Virtual Dog Training
I focus on positive reinforcement techniques using associative and operant training. As a new trainer, I am best suited for training cues (sit, stay, down, come, touch, leave it/drop it, heel, go to spot) and general behavior techniques (barking, begging, biting, crate training, house training, jumping) as well as proper socialization strategies.

What to expect
Consultation
The first consultation will be a conversation where I can get to know you, your dog, your current management, your training goals, and timeline. This should take anywhere between 30mins-1hour. I will e-mail a detailed training plan outline for your review within 48 hours after the consultation.
Sessions
Sessions will be held over zoom preferably in your home or somewhere the dog can be focused. I will explain the process and walk you through the steps of that specific training session, having you do the training exercises as I guide you. It is important you have a camera with good quality and a setup where I can see you and your dog actively doing the training. You should also come prepared with plenty of training treats or rewards. After each session I will e-mail you notes on training progression, any recommendations, and homework to continue working on a skill to fluency. (Within 48 hrs)
More info
Dogs are very smart animals who communicate with us everyday. My job is to help you understand your dog and achieve your training goals while fostering a strong bond between you and your pup. I train using the LIMA (Least Intrusive Minimally Aversive) method and positive reinforcement. By using associative and operant training techniques, I will instruct you how to train your pup to carry out desired behaviors, while correcting non-desired behaviors.
