Dog training for a better best friend

 

Positive and effective training solutions

Every dog and owner has their own unique relationship, complete with unique concerns and goals. I pride myself on providing practical and effective science-based solutions to help you and your dog live together more happily.

Customized training designed for you

There is no one size fits all training here! After listening to your needs (and wants) I develop a customized training plan to help you achieve your goals while coaching you in how to communicate with your dog in your own home, where your dog learns best.

From basics to behavior consulting 

I specialize in helping you reach your training goals – from puppy manners and rescue dogs to correcting problem behaviors that damage the bond you and your dog share such as anxiety, fear and aggression.

Changing the lives of dog and their families since 2007

There is nothing more satisfying than seeing a fearful dog become the confident dog he deserves to be or helping a dog (and their owner) realize their full potential in having a long-lasting, happy and healthy relationship.
