By My Side Dog Training - Crystal River, FL
I am dedicated to transforming the way you and your furry companions connect, utilizing my passion and expertise in dog training to foster relationships built on trust and respect. As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) and an American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Approved Evaluator (AKC CGC), I specialize in using positive reinforcement methods to create a harmonious bond between you and your dog. My commitment to Least Intrusive Minimally Aversive (LIMA) training practices ensures a gentle and effective approach tailored to your pet's unique needs.
I focus exclusively on private training sessions, which allows me to customize training plans specifically for your dog's individual requirements. By incorporating tools such as back-clip and front-clip harnesses, clickers, martingale collars, and long lines, along with praise, toys, and treats, I create a comprehensive and engaging training experience. Whether it's obedience training or behavior modification, I am here to support you and your dog every step of the way. Since I began my professional journey in 2021, my clients have appreciated the lasting relationships formed, knowing they can rely on me to meet their dog training needs, both during and after our scheduled lessons.
If you're ready to strengthen the bond with your canine companion in a positive and rewarding way, look no further. With a commitment to personalized service and a 24-hour cancellation policy for your convenience, I am here to help you and your pet succeed. Ready to get started? Book me through Petworks today!

Customer Reviews
In just a few sessions, we were given great information and tools to address barking and lunging while walking on leash. The exercises to reinforce the lessons have been great for setting indoor boundaries especially at the front door. Our dogs responded immediately to Holly's technique! - Crystal River, FL - September 2025
- Lana SHolly came highly recommended and she did not disappoint. Her challenge was my 10 month old pit bull with a very short attention span. Her method of upbeat, positive reinforcement was a perfect match for him and brought out the well-behaved dog I'd been unable to find. - Florida
