Animal Behavior and In Home Private Dog Training - Hilo, HI

Member since Oct 2021

As a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant and Pet Trainer through the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC) and a Certified Fear Free Trainer with Fear Free Happy Homes, I’m passionate about providing science-based, results-oriented training that both you and your pet will enjoy. With years of experience serving pets in the beautiful Hilo side of the Big Island of Hawaii, I specialize in addressing a wide range of issues including basic manners, aggression, anxiety, fear, and problem-solving for dogs, cats, and even chickens. My goal is to create a positive and engaging learning environment that strengthens the bond between you and your furry (or feathered) family members.

I offer a variety of services tailored to meet your needs, including in-home private lessons, group classes, and board-and-train options. Whether you're looking to teach your dog essential obedience skills, modify a pet's behavior, or alleviate anxiety, I have the tools and expertise to help. I utilize effective techniques such as back-clip and front-clip harnesses, long lines, and positive reinforcement through praise, affection, toys, and treats. Each session is designed to be enjoyable for you and your pet, ensuring that learning becomes a fun experience.

I understand the importance of flexibility in today’s busy world, which is why I also offer mobile services within my travel radius. If you’re ready to enhance your pet's behavior and create a happier home, I invite you to reach out.
