Prima Dogga - Dog Training Service - Shelburne, VT

As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KSA) with a deep-rooted passion for animal behavior, I have dedicated my life to transforming the lives of pets and their humans. My journey into animal training began serendipitously when I adopted "Addie," an adolescent feral mutt in West Oakland, CA. The incredible transformation we achieved through the guidance of a "clicker trainer extraordinaire" inspired me to channel my efforts into helping fearful and socially awkward dogs. Specializing in Suzanne Clothier's "Treat/Retreat" protocol, I ensure that every dog I work with finds a safe and supportive environment to thrive in.

With over a year of hands-on experience, I cater to a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and even chickens. My expertise extends to pet behavior modification and dog obedience training, using tools and methods like clickers, long lines, and martingale collars. I understand that the world can be daunting for under-socialized canines, especially those who have endured trauma or the social disruptions of recent times. That's why I focus on creating personalized training plans that address each pet's unique needs, ensuring both the animal and their human companion feel confident and connected.

If you're ready to see transformative results and enhance your pet's quality of life, I invite you to take the next step. Whether you're looking to improve your dog's recall skills or support a fearful pet, I am here to help. Ready to get started? Book me through Petworks today!
