Trainer & Animal Reiki Practitioner
I am certified as an Animal Reiki Practitioner.. I find this most effective with fearful and anxious pups. Additionally I am a certified professional dog trainer and low stress handler. I also offer advanced training, AKC GCG training and certification, pre Service Dog Training, basic agility, and I specialize in large breeds, bullies and working breeds.

Training skill set
What to expect
Consultation
I offer in person and virtual consults. I will gather a history and behavioral needs/challenges/goals. I do an assessment, assign homework and create a training plan.
Sessions
This totally depends on your training goals and needs. Agility training for high energy dogs will look different than a behavior case, or basic puppy stuff. We start out with a chat about history, or how it's been since the last session. We talk about issues and goals and I observe your pup as we chat. We do some tasks together and practice homework during our session. At the end I will recap everything and make sure you understand the homework- most important part. I like to follow up with a short email recap with homework laid out.
More info
I utilize positive reinforcement dog training and operant conditioning. I also have experience in BAT, counter conditioning and desensitization. I most enjoy working with service dogs and working breeds for advanced obedience.
