Dog walker/trainer ready to help

I've been working professional as a canine handler for over 10 years. I've worked various dog daycares and had a lot of first-hand experience observing dogs in open play and one on one. Learning their psychology has become a way of life. I love talking to people about their dogs and I am very excited to help pet parents learn how bond with their pets while helping them learn good manners through the principles of learning theories I have grown to know and love.

What to expect

Consultation

It helps me know how long you've had your dog, if there are behaviors issues you've encountered and what sort of successes and setbacks you've run into. Be honest about your dog, I will never blame you or the dog for an issue we will just figure it out together.

Sessions

Typically in your home

Expect to be engaged in the training process. It will be a learning experience for everyone involved; you, me, and your dogs. Every dog is different just like every person. I will make time for you because you love your dog enough to make time for them. I won't rush sessions and I'll probably show up early with treats and a ball in my pocket.

More info

12 years experience
Positive Reinforcement

I use dog psychology from books like Coaching People to Train their Dogs. I like using operant and classical conditioning combined to form positive associations with people places and things. I myself have a 12 year old dog with behavioral issues so even new client will be an opportunity to learn more as I continue learning and growing with my dog.
