Guide to training

Your learning journey can take many forms - from individualized coaching to intensive day training options, you can select which format works best for you and your dog.

  • Individual one-on-one learning sessions where I will work directly with you and your dog whether in your home or in real-world settings.

    This is an ideal choice for

    • building better household manners and life skills

    • working with your new puppy

    • behavioral issues

    • improving your own training skills including leash handling, observation and timing

    • and much more!

    Whether you're interested in a single session, a consultation, or a series of training sessions contact me for more information.

  • If we cannot meet in-person, I offer virtual consults, as well as online educational and training sessions.

    I have found this to be a very good solution to helping people who are looking for ways to improve the quality of life for their fearful or reactive dogs.

    You’ll receive education, training skills, and supportive coaching and best of all, your dog can learn with less stress, working with the person they trust the most.

When you are wondering how best to reach the mind of your dog, feel free to give me a call.

With decades spent alongside countless dogs, I've not only honed my skills but have been enriched by the shared experience of communicating with each dog.

Training is as much an art, as it is, a science.

I am committed to ongoing education, continually expanding my knowledge of how to build cooperative communication between dogs and the people who share their lives.

Building desired behavior is much more than randomly giving your dog a kind word, a pat on the head, or a piece of food.

I can help you unlock your dog’s potential while teaching you how to accelerate learning and build reliable behavior without the use of aversive training methods.

Consider video training notes

  • free yourself from taking notes

  • allow yourself to focus on training details

  • go back and review as needed
