Here are some common problems I’m often called to help with…
Pulling on walks
Leash reactivity
Bolting Out The Door
Recall
Excitability
What I do is in home coaching. I believe that leadership begins inside the home in the dog’s environment. If you can lead your dog inside the home without distractions, then you can transfer that leadership outside, where you will be competing with Mother Nature.
Puppy Training
I’m always impressed when someone contacts me interested in training their puppy. Puppies are never too young for training! In fact Mom starts training from birth, and she does it through calm and confident leadership. She provides that leadership with rules, boundaries and limitations. This is how puppies learn what is acceptable and what is not. When you bring your little one home, they are learning everything about you and their new environment. This is the perfect opportunity to raise a well behaved dog. What I do is teach you how to communicate in a language they understand. This is done through simple techniques, every day practices and fun games. You are building a strong relationship. It is much better to start training early, then to wait until you “need it”. Prevention is better than intervention.
Initial sessions typically last 2 hours. I will most likely be asking you to make a lot of changes. In order to influence our dog’s behavior, we must be willing to change our own.
After our initial session, I will send you an email with my recommendations based on you and your dog’s specific needs as well as my session package options.
Session packages do not expire. I recommend at least 1 to 2 weeks in-between sessions, so that each time we work together, I am helping you build on the progress you’ve made while practicing on your own.
Thank you so much for considering me to help you with your dog and please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions
To Get Started
Please take a moment to fill out my dog behavior questionnaire. It will help me get a good idea of your training goals and how I may be able to help.
Please allow 1-2 business days for me to respond.
When I receive confirmation that you’d like to set up an Initial session, I will email you an online invoice using the information provided on the questionnaire. The invoice will be for the booking fee, which is also 50% of the total session fee. Payment of this invoice will confirm our session appointment.

Dog Walks
Cesar Millan says the single most important thing you can do for your dog is walk with them. In my opinion, walking is the most underrated and misunderstood activity. Dogs walk to migrate, find food, shelter, water and safety. It’s the most primal and natural activity you can do to build a good relationship. A structured, calm walk with a confident human is what every dog wants. However life gets in the way and it’s not always possible to provide a mentally stimulating walk a few times per day. I offer outing packages to my clients since the dog has already established a relationship with me.

Swimming Lessons
Did you know that dogs are born with the instincts to swim, but not all dogs know HOW to swim. Check out my YouTube video above to see what happened when my dog Candace fell in the pool! And how I taught her to be calm in the water. It has over 30K views!Swimming is an excellent activity for several reasons. Exposing them to things that they perceive to be scary builds trust and confidence. The things that were once scary are not so scary anymore. With a confident human that provides patience and leadership, dogs can learn to get over their fears and most importantly, build trust with the human that’s leading them. Not only is swimming a great physical exercise, it’s also a great mental exercise! Any time you make a dog use their brain to problem solve and then make them feel good about what they accomplished, you are helping that dog build confidence. .
