Do you have a dog that is…
–1–
… jumping on visitors (or you when you come home)?
Imagine being able to welcome guests into your home without worry—your dog greets them happily, yet stays calm and relaxed, even remaining on his mat when asked. Our training program teaches dogs essential manners, helping them feel at ease in their environment. You’ll enjoy hosting friends and family, confident that your dog won’t overwhelm or knock over your visitors.

–2–
… pulling you down the street on walks?
Pulling on the leash is a common challenge for dogs who haven’t learned loose leash walking skills. However, our proven methods have transformed countless dogs into calm, enjoyable walking companions. Imagine stress-free strolls, no more worrying about being pulled off balance or risking injury. Let us help you reclaim your walks and experience the joy of a well-mannered dog by your side.

–3–
… reactive when seeing other people or dogs?
Imagine confidently strolling your dog in broad daylight, free from worry or awkward detours. With our proven reward-based training methods, you can help your dog overcome fear of other dogs, people, and everyday distractions—no more hiding or late-night walks. Step into the light and enjoy every outing together!

Expertise:

Training dogs isn’t just about the dog. The family that lives with the dog needs to know how to communicate with their pet. But the thing is, the dog training industry isn't regulated like the veterinary industry. Anyone can call themselves a "dog trainer" without any formal education in the profession or even having their training skills tested by a third party. I want you to know I have that continuing education and have had my dog training skills tested.

With a Bachelors Degree in Human Psychology and supervised “in class” training experiences, my assessments have shown that I have retained the information in the science of learning and have become competent in the technical skills necessary to train people. Teaching a variety of subjects to a number of age groups over the years has helped increase these teaching skills.

It also takes more than loving a dog to know how to properly and safely train them. I continue to take various ongoing certification and continuing education courses in animal training and behavior to learn the most recent dog training science. My skills are continuing to be tested as I go through continuing education to keep up my certifications. And you get the benefit of my education. Sharing my knowledge will help you have a better understanding of your dog and help shorten the time it takes to train your pet!

Let me be the one to help you achieve a happier and calmer life with your pet! Contact me today to start your journey.

At your initial consultation, your dedicated trainer will observe your dog right in their home environment and carefully review your pre-session questionnaire. This in-depth approach provides us with the insight to offer a thorough professional assessment and offer practical, actionable tips that you can start using immediately.

Recognizing that every dog and its family has their own unique story, challenges, and aspirations, we’ll present you with a choice of programs to meet your training goals that are flexible and fully customized to fit your specific needs and lifestyle. Would you like to be hands-on during training, or would you prefer to let our skilled trainers take the lead? The choice is yours, and we’ll support you every step of the way. The more we tailor our time with your dog, the faster you’ll notice meaningful improvements—resulting in a calmer, more confident, and joyful companion.

What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?

Consent tests - Give the animal space to decide if they are comfortable interacting with you. Don't reach out for them let them come to you to interact with them. Head turning away, lip licking, sniffing the ground, all things that turn their focus away from you means "please don't enter my safety bubble."

What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!

Continuing education is very important to me. I want to know the most up to date information in learning theory and practices from the most reliable sources in the industry. There are new studies in behavior and animal health out every year and I don't want to rely on old data.
