Paws Up Dog Training - In Home K9 Training - Huntington, NY
As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA) and an American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Approved Evaluator (AKC CGC), I bring a wealth of expertise and dedication to every training session. I'm also a proud professional member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT), which ensures I stay up-to-date with the best practices in the industry. Since January 2023, I've been passionately serving dogs of all sizes—from under 20 lbs to over 80 lbs—using science-based, least intrusive, and minimally aversive (LIMA) methods. My goal is to foster positive behavior change and effective training outcomes in every dog I work with.
I specialize in dog obedience training and pet behavior modification, utilizing a variety of techniques including leash work, long lines, praise, affection, toys, and treats. My personalized approach involves working directly in pet owners' homes and nearby environments, ensuring that the results are seamlessly integrated into daily routines. This method not only helps puppies get off to a great start but also effectively addresses adult dog behavior challenges. I understand the unique dynamics of each pet-parent relationship and tailor my sessions to meet those specific needs.
My services are mobile, providing the convenience of bringing expert dog training right to your doorstep. I require only 24 hours' notice for cancellations, understanding that unexpected "cat-astrophes" can occur. Whether you're looking to instill basic obedience or need in-depth behavior modification, I'm here to support you and your furry friend every step of the way. Ready to transform your dog's behavior and enhance your bond? Book me through Petworks today!
