Withers Dog Training - Ramona, CA
I am a certified dog trainer through the Council of Professional Dog Trainers and an AKC Evaluator for Canine Good Citizen and STAR Puppy. I provide dog owners with “tools for a happy dog” through teaching how to form a relationship with their dog based on a balanced foundation of respect, boundaries, and bond. Using the LIMA approach (least intrusive, minimally aversive), I am proud to teach techniques that are humane and effective. My clients receive a personalized follow up worksheet after each session, noting applicable training theories, behavior notes, and goals for the next session. I am proud of my ability to understand and help dogs as well as effectively communicate with people and build meaningful relationships. I am committed to continual education as a dog trainer and behaviorist. I love to work with puppies early on and proactively teach the basics and prevent issues, but a lot of what I do also involves troubleshooting unwanted dog behaviors and working with dog owners who feel lost and defeated. And perhaps the most rewarding part of the job is working with fearful dogs and witnessing them grow in confidence and build trust in people. Overall, I want the best for the dog and the human, and I want everyone to enjoy a healthy dynamic within their home.
