At Your Service Private Dog Training - Hadley, MA

Member since Apr 2017

As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) and Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner (KPA CTP), I am passionate about transforming the lives of pets and their owners through expert service dog training. Since April 2021, I have been dedicated to serving pets across Western MA and throughout the US, offering a range of services tailored to meet the unique needs of each dog and their handler. My extensive training and affiliations with the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) and the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC) assure you of a professional and trustworthy experience.

I specialize in reward-based training techniques that yield life-changing results, catering to mobility, psychiatric, and other service dog needs. My services include online, in-home, or on-site lessons, day training, and group classes, accommodating service dogs in training, emotional support animals, and therapy dogs. Whether your furry friend is under 20 lbs or over 80 lbs, I am equipped to handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Additionally, I am insured for your peace of mind and offer mobile services if you require training at a specific location.

With a commitment to providing personalized and effective training solutions, I invite you to experience the transformative power of my services. Whether you're looking for service dog training or need help with a "cat-astrophe," I am here to support you and your pet every step of the way. Ready to get started? Book me through Petworks today!

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Use management and prevention to prevent the undesirable behavior while you're training the desirable behavior.

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

We understand all aspects of service dog owner-training: life with a disability, service dog laws and terminology, public access training, and task training. Make sure the trainer you work with is a skilled trainer AND instructor and truly understands your disability and your dog, as well as relevant laws and terms.
