Train through video calls with a professional dog trainer wherever you are.
I would love to help you! 🐾
My work to be certified in Canine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy enhances my training approach. CCBT focuses on cognitive and emotional processes that shape a dog's responses. When you can recognize the dog's emotional state, promote cognition and learn how to communicate clearly, you will build a bond, increase confidence and build resilience. I am an honors graduate of Animal Behavior College. I have also been a trainer for PetSmart, giving me experience with a wide variety of dogs. I have helped dogs earn AKC Titles in Tricks, Rally, Canine Good Citizen and Therapy Dog Advanced.

What to expect
Consultation
During our initial consultation, I can meet you and your dog! We can discuss your dog’s behavior and your goals. We can then make a plan for the number of sessions you would like to commit to. I will provide some suggestions on treats/food for training. I will also take time to answer any questions you may have. Then the next step will be our first session where we begin your hands on training with your dog!
Sessions
During our first session we will dive right in and have fun beginning training. Since we are virtual, set up a phone, computer or ipad where I can see both you and your dog and you can hear me! A small low tripod works great! Please have a harness and leash, a variety of treats and a clicker (optional). Between sessions, you will practice with your dog each day the things we have learned. Then at the next session, we build upon your new skills and answer questions.

My training philosophy is... Positive Reinforcement Reward Based Training Build a relationship together that is amazing! Training is teamwork! I also believe.... Training Should always be Fun! Your dog wants to please you! It is our job as owners, to learn how to communicate to our dogs what we want! No dog is too old to learn! My training methods include... Reward and Positively Reinforce the behaviors we want! (You will get lasting results!) Avoid giving "rewards" for unwanted behaviors. My job is to teach you, how to communicate with your dog to get the results you want!
