Gentle Touch Dog Training - Stockton, CA
With over 14 years of experience in the field, I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) and a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) dedicated to providing top-notch dog obedience training and pet behavior modification services. My approach is grounded in science-backed operant conditioning, similar to the methods used to teach exotic animals, and focuses mainly on positive reinforcement. As a proud member of the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT), I ensure that no choke, prong, or shock collars, spray bottles, or shake cans are used in my training. I also integrate tools like back-clip and front-clip harnesses, clickers, and treats to foster a nurturing and effective learning environment.
I specialize in behavior modification using proven counter-conditioning and desensitization techniques to address a variety of behavior issues. My background as a Registered Veterinary Technician allowed me to complete an internship at the prestigious UC Davis Behavior Center, further honing my skills in pet behavior solutions. Whether you're seeking group classes with small class sizes or personalized private lessons, I am here to help your pet thrive. I cater to all sizes of dogs, from under 20 lbs to 80+ lbs, and offer mobile services to accommodate your busy schedule.
I believe that every pet deserves a compassionate and individualized training program, and I am committed to delivering just that. Whether you're dealing with a challenging "cat-astrophe" or simply want to enhance your dog's obedience skills, my flexible cancellation policy ensures peace of mind. Let's work together to create a harmonious relationship between you and your furry friend. Ready to get started? Book me through Petworks today!
