Say Please and Thank You.....Polite Puppy.....

Polite Manners training is essential to your pup's learning to be a well behaved furry family member. Your pet has plenty of potential to learn and understand cues, and my techniques will lay the foundation for you to build upon. I combine your needs and wants with the natural attributes of your pet.

Wash, Rinse, Repeat....
Behavior Solutions

Positive reinforcement isn't just about treats. It's rewarding your dog with what "they" find rewarding. Play, praise, petting, car rides, play-dates, toys, whatever lets them know they did good. Behavior that is rewarded tends to be repeated, so lets reinforce your pups good behavior and set them up for success!

Behavior Modification....

My dog is great except for___________ (fill in the blank)
Behavior Modification is a passion, one that is very close to heart by working with my own dogs' behavioral issues. I work closely with each one of my clients and their dogs to implement my proven problem solving process using positive reinforcement training and management. I will customize a plan that suits you and your dog's lifestyle.

Managing a multi-dog home.....

Looking for twice (or more) the fun? If you are thinking of adding a furry friend to keep your dog company or you'd like to expand your existing group, there are specific factors to keep in mind. Sure, more than one can be great, but sometimes it doesn't go as planned. We can help integrate your new addition and help the transition go a little smoother. By training both your existing dog and your new friend you will learn how to manage having more than one and set all up for success.

How did you hone your craft?

Growing up as an animal lover was my start of working with dogs. I volunteered for a rescue in Sussex County, NJ fostering and adopting many pups. Managing a multiple pet household was fun and a huge responsibility where I quickly learned that training was a must for my group, so my training journey began. I attended group classes where two of my pups earned their Canine Good Citizenship title, and one went on to become a therapy dog.

What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?

Your dog is not giving you a hard time, your dog is having a hard time.

What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!

I believe that training using force free, pain free, positive reinforcement methods creates an amazing between you and your pet.
