Proven Obedience
My training knowledge comes from some of the world’s most respected trainers: Michael Ellis, NePoPo, Pat Stuart, Method K9, Ivan Balabanov, Denise Fenzi, and STSK9. I actively train and compete in advanced dog sports, which gives me deep insight into building reliable behavior. I prioritize clear communication, showing dogs the language of training and how to respond. My goal isn’t just to train the dog, but to teach dedicated owners the “why” behind behaviors and the methods used.

What to expect
Consultation
During your consultation, we’ll discuss your dog’s behavior, history, routine, and training goals so I can understand what you’re looking to accomplish. I’ll observe your dog’s responses, explain what I’m seeing, and walk you through the training approach I recommend. You’ll leave with a clear plan, realistic expectations, and next steps for working together.
Sessions
Before your first session, please ensure your dog hasn’t had a full meal and bring a leash, collar, high-value treats, and your usual training essentials. Each session is customized to you and your dog, focusing on clear communication, refined handling, and thoughtful, achievable goals. You’ll receive tailored homework after every visit, and I remain available by phone to support you between sessions and help maintain smooth, consistent progress.
More info
I use an individualized approach centered on clarity, consistency, and emotional balance. Every dog learns differently, so I adapt my methods to what each dog needs to succeed while keeping training fair, humane, and highly effective.

Availability
I’m typically available for training sessions Tuesday-Thursday 10am-5pm. I try to schedule sessions during those hours so I can give each dog my full focus and keep a consistent routine. If needed, I can occasionally accommodate slightly earlier or later times depending on the day.
