Positive reinforcement training for your dog, young or old, timid or aggressive. Private lessons done in your home (or wherever your dog has a problem).

I take a holistic approach to training so your dog becomes a wonderful part of the home and community. I do private, in-home lessons. For the first session, I evaluate the dog and household. Together, we come up with a plan of attack and I demonstrate how to handle various situations. Typically, I do 1-2 training sessions a week until you are satisfied with your dog's actions. Between sessions, I am available through text, phone calls, and email.

I use strictly positive training methods. I do not use smacking, shocking, or other painful methods to manipulate dogs. The use of treats, praise, and play are integral to my training. Positive reinforcement creates a dog that wants to please you, that is willing to explore, and that is happy. Using positive methods does not mean that your dog is allowed to misbehave. I am firm in my requests and expect obedience. But the dog, client, and I work with mutual respect and upbeat, loving methods.
