Crimson Hound - At Home Certified Dog Trainer - La Crosse, WI

Crimson Hound, LLC is based in La Crosse, Wisconsin. I offer in-home consultations throughout the Coulee Region, as well as virtual sessions for clients based anywhere. In addition, I offer online courses and a select number of small group classes on various special topics.

We will work together to reach your training goals and overcome behavior challenges. Family dog mediation® focuses less on traditional obedience training and more on teaching practical life skills, developing better communication with your dog and building a relationship based in trust. Dogs don’t come equipped with the knowledge or skills to understand how they fit not our human world, so we will work together to teach your dog the skills he will need to succeed.

I use ethical, rewards-based training methods that do not rely on punishment or force. My training is based on LIMA standards. All of my interactions with you and your dog will be based on the principle of least intrusive, minimally aversive. I am a fear free certified professional, which means that I won’t cause stress, pain or anxiety to realize training goals and will never recommend choke collars, prong collars or shock collars as a means to address a problem behavior.

As a certified professional trainer, I pride myself in continually expanding my knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques through attaining certifications, attending workshops and conferences, reading the latest literature and networking with colleagues to remain on the cutting edge of the science of dog behavior.
