Happy to help any dog young or old!
I have about 30 years of experience with high energy German shepherd dogs at my family home and have been actively involved in training them at a young age. While I haven’t done professional training for a long time, I have helped trained many of my friends and family dogs and have been asked to put together training programs for my clients on rover before receiving my certification. I’m hoping to begin my journey as a professional and expand into more complex services in the future!

Training skill set
What to expect
Consultation
During our consultation, we will review the dogs behavioral needs and address the level of acuity they have across their cues. Once a baseline is established, we can start working on honing skills they are yet to develop.
Sessions
In a session we will practice desired behaviors through associative and operant training techniques and build a training guide for their development at the owners home when we are not in session. The goal is to reinforce the positive and desired behaviors over time through consistency in the training.
More info
I learned under the GoodPup methodology of learning theory, using a combination of associate and operant learning to hone the dogs skills! I’ll provide them with a tailored approach based on age, energy level, and breed, but will remain consistent in approach to cues and treat rewards. The goal is to build positive associations with behaviors, then reinforcing the desired behaviors through operant learning, in which cues are added and treat rewards is provided for desired behaviors.
