Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We begin with an "Initial Assessment." I use a form and I fill it out while we chat in person and I get to know your pup. It is extensive but it lets me know you and your dog from every angle. We will work a bit in that session, and then I will formulate a Training Plan for you.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I engaged in an intense, 3-year apprenticeship with Santa Fe Dog Trainer David Crosby. This is something I immersed myself in. He worked me hard. He was not an easy task-master. We worked a lot: with dogs, giving free community classes, with other trainers and search & rescue teams, and volunteering at Monte del Sol Charter School mentoring teens in Scent Detection and Basic Dog Skills 101. I have five of my own dogs and I take care of two dogs who I had rehabbed from their not-so-great lives.
