Positive Reinforcement Dog Training - Fort Lauderdale, FL

Verified Member since Dec 2021 Verified checkmark

Hello there, pet parents!

I’m Abby, a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) with a passion for helping dogs build confidence and learn through positive reinforcement techniques. With over two years of dedicated experience, I specialize in working with a variety of dogs, including those in the 20-39 lbs and under 20 lbs categories, and I take pride in my trauma-informed approach. I believe in creating a safe and encouraging environment where your furry friend can thrive without the use of scary or hurtful tactics. My training methods focus on fun, engaging, and rewarding experiences—utilizing praise, toys, and treats—to capture your dog's attention and foster good behavior.

I offer customized private dog training sessions, which can be conducted in the comfort of your own home, thanks to my mobile services. Whether your pup needs basic obedience training or you're seeking help with behavior modification, I am here to guide you every step of the way. I also have two convenient package options: get $40 off when you book four lessons for just $560, or save $60 with my six-lesson package for $840. If you’re interested in online sessions, I can accommodate that too, making it easier than ever to access my training expertise regardless of where you are!

Let’s work together to unlock your dog's potential and watch them shine with confidence. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry companion! Ready to get started? Book through Petworks today!

Customer Reviews

Abby is a wonderful trainer who has helped me and my newly adopted rescue immensely in the past six weeks. My dog is insecure and would bark and squeal throughout his walks at everything that moved. Since working with Abby, he has improved more than tenfold. She focuses on positive reinforcement and also has given recommendations on what lead to use, how to work on separation anxiety, and how to demonstrate more confidence so that my dog will be more confident in me and therefore more confident in himself. She is truly a wonderful trainer!
