Certified Positive Dog Trainer
I am a certified trainer with extensive hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I specialize in addressing real-world behavior challenges, from puppy basics to reactivity and leash manners. My approach combines professional knowledge with genuine care, ensuring every dog feels safe, understood, and motivated to learn. Pet parents appreciate my clear communication, follow-up support, and step-by-step guidance tailored to their lifestyle.

What to expect
Consultation
During your consultation, I will review your dog’s behavior, training history, and your specific goals. I will observe your dog’s interactions and responses, then provide recommendations for a customized training plan, including the estimated number of sessions needed to achieve these goals. This ensures we create a clear, achievable path for your dog’s success.
Sessions
In your first session, we will start with a brief discussion about your dog’s history, behavior, and goals. Then, we’ll move into hands-on training exercises tailored to your dog’s needs. You’ll receive clear instructions and homework to practice between sessions, ensuring steady progress. Please make sure your dog’s vaccinations are up to date before we begin.
More info
I follow a science-based, positive reinforcement training approach that focuses on building trust and clear communication between dogs and their owners. I tailor each training plan to the dog’s individual needs, temperament, and learning style. By using rewards, consistency, and patience, I create a fun, stress-free environment that helps dogs learn faster and strengthens the bond with their humans.
