Verified Member since Jul 2024 Verified checkmark

With over a decade of experience in professional pet training, I proudly offer customized private lessons designed to transform your pet into a well-behaved family member. As an American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Approved Evaluator (AKC CGC) and a Certified Trick Dog Instructor (CTDI), I bring certified expertise to each session, whether at my facility, your home, or online. My commitment is to provide clear and fair communication with your pet, ensuring there’s no confusion and fostering a positive learning environment.

Is your dog pulling on the leash or barking excessively during walks? I specialize in impulse control and behavior modification to ensure peaceful and enjoyable outings for both you and your pet. Utilizing tools such as leashes, collars, and positive reinforcement like toys and treats, I tailor each lesson to meet your dog's individual needs, regardless of size, from under 20 lbs to over 80 lbs. My flexible approach, including a mobile service option, ensures that your convenience and your dog's well-being are top priorities.

For pet parents short on time, my Board and Train program offers an efficient solution to quickly address and modify unwanted behaviors. Following the training, I provide follow-up lessons to equip you with the skills to maintain effective communication with your dog. Fully insured and with a flexible cancellation policy, I am dedicated to making a positive impact on your pet's behavior. Ready to get started? Book me through Petworks today!
