Better Communication. Better Behavior. A Better Life Together
Personalized LA dog training for an easier life together—from building foundational skills to improving challenging behavior
What kind of help does your dog need?
BUILDING FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS
Every dog starts somewhere different—a jumpy 6-month-old puppy and a shy rescue don't necessarily need the same approach. I consider your dog's personality, experience, and current skills to create a practical approach that makes everyday life together easier.
Whether you're starting with potty and crate training or working toward reliable off-leash freedom, we'll build the skills your dog needs at a pace that makes sense for both of you.
- Potty training
- Crate training
- Loose-leash walking
- Coming when called
- Off-leash reliability
- Sit and down with stay
- Manners at home and in public
- Socialization
SOLVING PROBLEM BEHAVIORS
Problem behaviors don’t come out of nowhere. Understanding what’s contributing to a behavior is an important part of creating meaningful, lasting change. Rather than focusing only on stopping the behavior you don’t want, I look at the bigger picture—including your dog’s responses, habits, environment, and relationship with you.
From difficult walks, barking or lunging at dogs and people to challenging behaviors at home, we’ll work toward better communication, clearer expectations, and behavior that’s easier to live with.
- Leash reactivity
- Barking or lunging at dogs or people
- Jumping and mouthing
- Stealing or grabbing things
- 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
Private lessons may take place at your home, in your neighborhood, at a local park, or in another appropriate setting depending on what we’re working on. We’ll focus on the behaviors and skills that matter in your everyday life, while helping you understand what to do and how to continue making progress between lessons.
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 where training becomes part of everyday life. We’ll work on obedience, behavior, communication, and the specific challenges that brought your dog to training through consistent practice in real-life situations.
When your dog comes home, the training doesn’t stop. Follow-up lessons help you learn how to maintain the progress, reinforce new habits, and carry the training into everyday life.
Virtual lessons
Best for: Owners who want professional guidance with the flexibility of training from home
Through live video sessions, I’ll coach you through the training process in real time—helping you understand what to do, what to look for, and how to adjust when things aren’t going as planned.
Virtual lessons can work well for many dogs and milder behavior concerns, especially if you live outside my service area, prefer training from home, or want professional guidance while doing the hands-on training yourself.
