Let’s get you the dog you want!
Are you and your dog on the same page? Are you spending your time and energy trying to stop behaviors that don’t work for you or your dog? Let’s change the picture!
It’s fun to look for the good things your dog is doing and reward those rather than to have them make a mistake and punish it. We don’t focus on stopping behaviors as much as building good ones. It works! And you and your animal will build a strong bond that will help you in the future.
My 6 years experience with shelter dogs taught me about “problem” behaviors. Confusion, anxiety and fear are often at the root of behaviors that we are uncomfortable with. We can work together to help you and your pup feel safe and able to cope.
I work with you in your home or online. I like to see your dog in his natural habitat if possible. This “one on one” method allows me to personalize your training to fit your needs and abilities. We sift through all the issues and we pick out the most important ones to work on. I keep it simple and fun.
