Every dog is different, and I tailor my dog training programs to the individual needs of both the dog and family, but the foundation of all my programs is a reward and evidence-based training method that is effective for all dogs, regardless of their breed, age, or temperament. No breed needs a heavy hand.

For the best possible results, my methods are also free of intentional force and/or punishment in order to gain obedience. Punishment creates an unhealthy relationship with your dog, and potentially the rest of the family. What we see as a bad dog may be them trying to communicate something is wrong. Setting them up for failure to “teach them a lesson” will only suppress behavior and does not get to the root of the problem causing the behavior.

My approach goes beyond what we know as “obedience” – and addresses all the key aspects of your dog’s life:

  • Meeting their mental and physical needs.
  • Creating an appropriate home environment.
  • Diet & Overall wellness.
  • Necessary life skills such as responding to their name & leash walking.
