You can expect professional, kind, and educated support when reaching out to me for training or behavior consulting. For all behavioral concerns, I meet you and your dog where you are and prioritize improving the quality of both your lives.

My training methods are backed by science and derived from learning theory. The best learning occurs when the learner feels safe and is not threatened by the potential of a punishment being applied if they get it wrong. That's a long way to say: I use positive reinforcement training methods.

More info about Puppy Training

Feeling the puppy blues? Overwhelmed by shark teeth scratching up your skin? Pulling your hair out about potty training or crate training?

Even if you've raised many puppies in your life, I guarantee that you'll learn something new when we work together. Using the latest in science-backed puppy raising tips and tricks, I will equip you to raise a confident, resilient, emotionally healthy dog.

The best type of training is preventative training. Reactivity, aggression, resource guarding, and handling struggles are just a few of the issues that sometimes crop up as a dog ages. Together, we will prioritize training that helps prevent behavior problems like these before they occur.

More info about Walk & Trains

A walk & train session is a 30-minute walk where I reinforce cues and associations that you and your dog are working on. For most dogs, this looks like continuing to build a positive association to seeing other dogs, people, or vehicles while out and about. It also will include practice with pattern games that help make neighborhood walks more predictable and enjoyable for your dog.

Wonderful for barky and lungy dogs as well as fearful and nervous dogs, walk & trains are the solution when you need your dog walker to have dog behavior education and skills. If you are nervous and don’t trust just anyone to walk your dog, this is the service for you.
