Private Dog Trainer and Canine Behaviorist - Lafayette, CA
As an Animal Behavior College Certified Dog Trainer (ABCDT) and a proud member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT), I have dedicated my career to helping pets and their owners build strong, loving relationships through positive reinforcement. With years of experience in training dogs of all sizes, ranging from under 20 lbs to over 80 lbs...I bring a wealth of knowledge to each session. I also volunteer at a local dog rescue, where I work hands-on with dogs in need, reinforcing my commitment to animal welfare and behavior modification. Additionally, I have the honor of teaching a course in dog behavior at a local college, sharing my passion and expertise with future trainers and pet owners alike.
I understand that every pet is unique, which is why I tailor my training sessions to meet the individual needs of your furry friend. Whether you’re facing challenges with obedience, socialization, or behavior issues, I am here to help. My approach is rooted in science-based positive reinforcement methods that have been proven to be effective. I also offer mobile services, allowing me to come to your home to provide personalized training in an environment where your pet feels most comfortable. If you’re looking for support with dogs or even cats, I am equipped to handle a variety of behavioral concerns.
