HOW I CAN HELP

To achieve the best results when bringing home a new dog, it is critical to seek the advice of a professional trainer. This way the dog can adapt much quicker to your expectations and home.

Thank you for your interest in the dog training and behavior services I offer for my clients and their dogs. I specialize in behavior concerns, including reactivity, separation anxiety, and fearful under-socialized dogs, and will cover a lot of information within the first session to get you and your dog on a path to success. Information we cover will include basic manners, obedience training, crate, and house training, and how to properly build a relationship with your dog through a series of leadership and mental stimulation exercises. I answer any questions or concerns you may have to ensure you and your dog are set up for success at home and in the community.

Each session lasts anywhere from an hour and a half to two hours. You are only required to purchase one session. You can choose to have me back as many times as you please.

I also offer Puppy Pack Walks and adult dog Pack Walks with a mini class for dogs 16 weeks and older. This is a fun and safe way for dogs and their owners to learn how to walk in a structured class environment. At least one personal session is required before signing up for a pack walk. This ensures your dog is placed in the pack that is best suited to their personality and comfort level.

I would be happy to discuss how I can help you and your pup! If you are interested in booking an appointment or receiving more information, please contact me by phone or email for my available dates and times.

I specialize in acclimating your dog to thrive in a dog-friendly business, including offices. Group and individual training classes are available at your place of work.

WELCOMING YOUR NEW PUPPY HOME

In this session, I will cover all the elements necessary to help your new puppy adjust. Veterinarians often recommend avoiding highly populated public areas and dog parks before 16 weeks of age, or before their last set of shots. I can provide an alternative to keeping your puppy entertained by teaching enrichment and socializing activities and games. Included are house training, crate training, basic obedience, puppy chewing, nutrition, and setting boundaries. This session is designed for puppies between 8-16 weeks.

CANINE MATCHMAKER

I can help you pick out the perfect dog for you and your family. I am known for having a knack to matching the right dog with the right person. I would be happy to go with you to a shelter or rescue to help find the perfect match.

LUNA & CORY

One of my favorite things to do is to help in the process of finding people a new companion animal. It is important to match the right dog with the right person based on their schedules, activities, dog experience and how much time they will have to contribute to the dog.

I was happy to help Cory when she reached out for help in finding the right match. It wasn’t long before she adopted her new best friend Luna!

Cory has been dedicated to Luna from the moment she brought her home. The bond between Cory and Luna was almost instant. Starting and continuing training sessions with me. Their friendly and engaging personality’s are a joy to be around.
