Ready to see a difference in your dog?
I offer training packages to fit your needs and goals. Whether you have a puppy, a new rescue or an adult dog, I can structure a program for you.
Initial Consult/Evaluation
You can schedule an initial consult before choosing a training package. It includes a questionnaire followed by virtual conversation to help me learn more about your goals. It sometimes helps to see the dog’s environment on screen as that allows me to make relevant management suggestions by the end of that first appointment.
We also spend time just discussing my approach so that you can ask any questions you might have. I will then advise you on the training package most appropriate for your situation.
Training packages are designed for all ages and stages!
- puppies to adolescents
- young dogs and senior dogs
- dogs who are new to our home or those that have been with us for years
Here are some of the topics we can cover in customized training
Real Life Skills
Sometimes people want additional help transitioning the foundations into everyday life. Learning to walk on leash in a class is very different from walking politely on leash around around town or on hiking trails. Sitting for a treat in the kitchen is different from learning to settle quietly in the vet’s office.
Fearful, reactive, shy, stubborn? These are all labels but they don’t help us help our dogs. Modifying behavior requires an understanding of learning theory which not everyone has. I can teach you the skills to help your dog. I will share as much or as little of the science of behavior as you like. I attend animal behavior workshops and seminars on a regular basis so that you will get the most current and scientifically sound coaching.

Specialty Training
we sure got a great deal out of our time with you! After you left, Jim said to me that he felt we were finally on the right track with our two pups! Yes, please book us!
I really appreciate your skills and the manner in which you present the training materials. I will miss seeing you when we finish up Maggie’s training.
"Both of us were remarking on how focused you are, and how you model an intense training program, with the trainees being the two of us and the dogs. We really appreciate, not just how remarkably competent you are, but all the extra time spent with us...
We very much appreciate the entire 'customized' extensive training program you deliver. And, of course, you are making it all but impossible to refrain from at least partially duplicating your dedication to the process."
