Canine Relationship Coach
Every trainer has their own style, but what sets me apart is that I’m a Licensed Family Dog Mediator. That means I don’t just focus on obedience—I help families understand why their dog behaves the way it does, based on its genetics, learning history, environment, and individual personality. My goal is to meet both the dog’s and the human’s needs, so they can build a relationship rooted in trust, communication, and teamwork.

What to expect
Consultation
During your consultation, we’ll review your dog’s behavior, history, and your training goals. I’ll observe your dog, answer any questions you have, and recommend a customized training plan based on your dog’s needs. This session helps us build a clear path forward and gives you a chance to see how I work. No pressure—just a conversation to get started on the right foot.
Sessions
Each training session is hands-on, fun, and tailored to your dog. We’ll work on specific skills using positive reinforcement and real-life scenarios to help your dog succeed. I’ll explain each step clearly and give you take-home tips so you can keep the progress going between sessions. You’ll leave each session feeling confident and supported, with a plan in place.
More info
I use positive reinforcement methods rooted in motivation and relationship building. Every pet learns best when training feels like play, so I focus on using what the dog loves—whether that’s food, toys, praise, or fun activities—to shape behavior. Training should always be enjoyable, never scary or forceful. My goal is to build trust and help each dog feel successful while learning new skills.
