Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I do free in home consultations. We can customize a program that suits your family, to create better communication between you and your dog. I like to see the dog in its own environment, how it is behaving, interacts with its people. This lets me see where to start training what works and what doesn't based on the the desires of all involved. I train people to train and communicate with the dog.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a Certified Trainer and Behaviorist in Canine Studies. I have been training and working with dogs for over 30 years. I use the least amount of conflict necessary to communicate desired behavior. From jumping, lunging, bitting, dog reactivities. If I can't help you, I do know who can.

My pricing is based on you and your needs. I offer hourly rates, Lesson package rates. I also do offer drop off Day training.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
When you are looking for a Dog Trainer insure their style and methods suit your lifestyle, understand owning a dog is a lifestyle and there will be chages in your habits to make it work as desired. If you or your dog are conflicted with that trainer on the first Consultation, keep looking. This area has the trainer for you out there. You more than your dog must have a relationship with the Trainer.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Write down your issues. Know your end goals. makes sure you whole hosehold is onboard with the idea of a Trainer.
Know your Budget. Dog training is an investment.
Figure out how much time you are willing to put in. It's also a commitment you must follow through with, doing the homework.
