Improve your relationship
I am an evidence-based positive-reinforcement trainer who focuses on bringing out the best in your dog, whether a puppy, adult, rescue or from a breeder. I teach the dog how to make decisions that will bring repeated reinforcement, and teach you the strategies to tighten your relationship with your dog and reduce frustration. I can work with toys and food and all breeds. I do not currently take clients with aggression, bite history, or separation anxiety. I can refer you to my colleagues who do. I am happy to do an assessment to determine a training plan. Certifications: CPDT-KA; KPA-CTP

What to expect
Consultation
During your consultation, we will talk about the behaviors you want and what you don’t want. We will come up with a training plan that will work with the commitment you are available to give to your dog’s training. I will observe your dog and make suggestions and recommendations that will help us work together to reach your goals and what is best for your dog.
Sessions
Either your home or a neutral location. Each session is case-by-case. We will take the information we have, pair it with your goals, and train what is in the middle. Sessions include food, toys, positive markers, games, and fun for the dog to learn.
More info
