Therapist-Informed Puppy Training
I’m a third-generation dog lover and licensed psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience working with dogs on opposite sides of the globe. During the pandemic, I became certified as a Positive Dog Trainer through Victoria Stilwell Academy. I specialize in puppies under six months old, blending behavioral science and human psychology to help you build a calm, confident foundation and a lasting bond from the very start. I also support you with the real-life nuances and challenges that online advice often misses.

What to expect
Consultation
During your Free video consultation, we will discuss your puppy's behavior and temperament, management planning, your short and long-term goals and how many sessions you and your puppy may need. I offer both in-person and online training, we can determine which will be the best fit at the end of our consultation.
Sessions
Please have your pup vaccination records before your first session. We will start with a short assessment, then dive right into training that is tailored to you and your pup's needs. It will include management planning such as setting up your NYC apartment for your pup and some basic cues. After your first session, I will assign simple, short and fun homework for you to practice with your pup. Then, two 30-minute-Follow-up video sessions at a reduced rate.
More info
My Training philosophy is Empathic, Force-free, Strength-based and Mindful Solution-focused. Keep in mind that you (partner/your family) are part of the equation in this new and sacred bond. Everyone's feelings matter here! Simple methods with simple markers for desired behaviors.
