how i train
Your dog’s physical and emotional welfare are essential keys to their behavior success. I am a positive-reinforcement based trainer and utilize only humane methods to create powerful and long-lasting behavior change, as recommended by the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior. I never recommend measures that cause pain, discomfort, or fear.
how training works:
1
initial consult
We'll discuss your dog’s history in depth, any behavior issues, and get a clear idea of your goals. You’ll learn why your dog is behaving this way and what immediate actions you can take to get relief from unwanted behaviors.
2
behavior plan
A personalized assessment including an overview of your dog’s long-term plan as well as the first steps of your practice. You receive a Trail Guide and videos. You’ll have a very clear idea of what to do next.
3
implementation
Training begins! As you work through the plan, you will fill out your dog’s log & submit short videos of your practice. I will review your work, help coach you when you're stuck and make adjustments as necessary.
4
support
Up to 2 hours of remote support is offered after your initial consultation. I'll guide you through snags and cheer on your progress. Depending on your needs and goals, live follow-up sessions may be recommended.

What My Clients Are Saying
"All this work we've done we're really seeing the results. I almost couldn't believe it would work, but it really is...giving her all this structure of how to work through scary/stressful things is just giving her (and the humans) a really great life together."
