having The dog you've been hoping for starts here
Whether it's everyday basics or tough behavior problems, I can help make your dog an easy member of the family.
What kind of help does your dog need?
BUILDING FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS
Every dog starts somewhere different- a jumpy 6-month-old and a shy rescue may need different starting points. I meet your dog at their current skill level and build up from there, whether that's potty training basics or polishing off-leash reliability.
- Potty training
- Crate training
- Loose leash walking
- Coming when called
- Off leash reliability
- Sit and down with stay
- Manners in and outside of home
- Socialization
SOLVING PROBLEM BEHAVIORS
Problem behaviors don't come out of nowhere- fear, frustration, or a lack of structure are often behind what looks like "bad behavior." I get to the root cause, not just the symptom, and develop an approach that fits your dog and your life.
- Reactivity
- Barking/lunging at other dogs or people
- Jumping and mouthing
- Grabbing your things and running away
- Separation anxiety
- Agression
- Resource guarding
Training Programs
Private Lessons
Best for: owners who want to get started quickly and be hands-on in the process
I come to you -whether that's at home or out at a local park - so training is built directly around what you're experiencing in your dog's everyday environments. Ideal if you want to get started quickly with a personalized approach.
Board and Train
Best for: owners who want an immersive jump-start before continuing training themselves
Your dog stays with me for a structured, immersive training program - typically starting at 4 weeks, with shorter timeframes available depending on which other training programs you pair it with. Consistent, hands-on guidance, free from the gaps and distractions of a normal home routine, helps your dog build new habits fully. Once training wraps up, we'll work together through follow-up lessons so those habits carry over to your day-to-day life.
Day Training
Best for: owners with a full schedule who still want daily, focused training for their dog
Your dog spends several hours a day with me, working on focused training and interactions across a variety of settings. A great option if you want a more intensive approach without daily hands-on involvement.
Virtual lessons
Best for owners who are hands-on and comfortable working through training with remote support
Get expert guidance through live video sessions - I'll walk you through what to do, and coach you in real time. It's a great fit if you're comfortable being the hands-on trainer yourself, live somewhere I don't travel to, or just prefer the flexibility of training from home.
