We constantly try to communicate with our dogs using only our language. In order to have a successful and rewarding relationship with our dogs, we must learn how to communicate with them using their language as well. All too often, we find ourselves addressing problem behaviors after they occur. My approach is simple: learn how to create the behaviors you want and successfully address the ones you don’t.

I offer individualized training for dogs and their owners by offering a variety of training packages consisting of one hour sessions. These sessions are conducted in your home on your schedule. Each program is tailored to meet you and your dog's individual needs, using positive reinforcement methods. 

Before training begins, a ninety minute in-home evaluation and consultation are required to identify your dog's specific needs, temperament, goals, and present level of training. Immediate training needs will be addressed at this time.
