About

I am a Certified Fear-Free Professional and have been working with dogs and their owners since 2008. With extensive experience in reward-based, genuinely dog-friendly training, I'm happy to help you with getting your puppy or dog off to a great start. I can also assist you with more complex behavior issues : being polite and mannerly in your home, walking nicely on leash, "stranger danger" and dog/dog issues. I welcome questions :

Private lessons * Behavior Issues

Private Lessons are conducted via Zoom or in person. They allow me to work with you and your dog at your own pace, addressing your immediate concerns and offering practical ways to show your dog the rules of your home. I'll follow up our session with an email of personalized suggestions!

Behavior issues such as dog aggression, biting, barking, territoriality, and the kinds of things that might make you say, "This dog is just not trainable!" I'd love to show you how to help your "dog gone wrong" using kind, proven, science-based methods. The first step forward is to get in touch with me.
