Dog Training & Behavioral Solutions
As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, I offer private in-home dog training with a focus on behavior modification for dogs with fear, aggression, and reactivity, and basic training for puppies and their humans. I pursue advanced education to refine my skills, stay current with the latest technologies, and extend my knowledge in canine cognition and behavior.
My training method is science-based positive reinforcement performed with patience, kindness, and compassion, teaching you how to build a stronger, happier relationship with your pup through learning, interaction, and enrichment. Utilizing reward-based training techniques, you will learn how to manage the environment and manipulate consequences to shape the desired behavior in your dog. You will learn how to manage unwanted behavior while teaching your dog alternative behaviors. You will learn how, by satisfying your dog’s natural desires, you can have a calmer, happier dog and a happier you.

Consultation
90-minute initial consultation, including follow-up text/email support: $95
All training programs begin with an initial consultation, where I visit your home to gather information about your dog's history, environment, and behavior problem. It will allow us to dive deeper into the motivation behind the behavior, set the goals, and develop a tailored plan to help you and your dog.
One session can make a big difference, and together we can decide what package is the best option for your goals and lifestyle.
