​​We Take Training Seriously
(But Have Fun Doing It!)

Training can now be via easy live, video or phone consults! In-person sessions can be scheduled as an extra add-on to each package.  See our Stay Home Stay Safe Training page
We want to have fun with our dogs but sometimes they wear us out. We try so hard to take good care of them and really want to enjoy their company. Being on edge and supervising all the time is not the fun part. 
Whether you want to get started on the right track with training a new puppy or rescue, or are having challenges with an ongoing behavior problem, I am here to help. Personalized training plans for your personal situation so you can relax with your dog at home, around others, and out in the world. 

It's time to reap the rewards of your hard work and love every minute of a delightful dog. ​

Virtually amazing training help!

In the last year my clients and I have discovered that remote training is even better than in person! 
  • Video allows me to see your dog's training progress and share demonstration video back to you
  • We can get together more frequently since I don't spend time driving. Shorter sessions but twice a week means less overwhelm and faster feedback. 
  • No strangers in your home prevents stress for your dog. I don't need to be there to believe what you tell me about your dog's behavior. And there's always that video. 
  • I can coach you wherever you and your dog are.
This session today was super helpful.  I had started working on these concepts based on the reading I have been doing, but your lesson really gives me better focus on where to improve the finesse.  The videos are helpful as well as I work to figure out better choreography and instincts!

Positive Reinforcement Results in Happy Dogs and Good Relationships

Positive Reinforcement is more than just being nice. I base training on scientific Learning Theory and will never use pain, fear, or threats to train. No shock collars (or "e collars") used here. 
My goal is for relaxed, happy, and attentive dogs, in the home and out. 

Certifications
I believe in keeping my own education growing in order to meet the needs of the animals and people I work with.  The following are some of the certifications I have earned. Be sure any trainer you work with is truly certified by a worthy organization, as opposed to just a paying member.
