Caring Canine Commands In-Home Certified Dog Trainer - Santa Clarita, CA
Welcome to my private dog training services, where I specialize in creating a positive and nurturing environment for your furry family members. With my qualifications as an Animal Behavior College Certified Dog Trainer (ABCDT) and an American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Approved Evaluator (AKC CGC), I have the knowledge and experience to help dogs of all sizes—from under 20 lbs to over 80 lbs—develop essential skills and good manners. I have been passionately serving pets since February 2020, ensuring they receive the best training tailored to their unique needs.
In our in-home training sessions, I utilize positive reinforcement techniques to teach basic obedience commands, leadership exercises, and loose leash walking, while also addressing any specific questions or concerns you may have. I understand that every dog is different, which is why I provide two handouts and a follow-up email after our session, allowing you to reinforce what we've learned together. My mobile services ensure that your dog receives the benefit of training in the comfort of their own environment, making the learning process more effective and enjoyable.
Whether you're looking to enhance your dog's behavior or simply want to bond through training, I'm here to help every step of the way. I'm also a Certified Animal Reiki Practitioner, which adds a holistic approach to my training philosophy. Ready to get started on your dog’s training journey? Book through Petworks today, and let’s create a happier, well-behaved companion together!
