About

Science-based
Reinforcement-based training allows your dog to think and develop power and choice. We mainly use shaping to train behaviors step-by-step. This sets them up for success and forms a strong foundation.

Kind and ethical
I love animals, and couldn’t imagine using dominance, pain, fear, and avoidance in dog training and puppy training.  The use of force is unnecessary. We focus on building a strong relationship between you and your dog based on trust, consistency, and understanding of their motivation.

Supportive
Every dog and situation is unique. Most of our services can be provided in group sessions or privately at our training facility. During private training sessions, we can adjust the pace to be slower or faster than in group sessions.

Client-friendly
My explanations and reasoning are simple to understand. You will have access to written step-by-step lessons to refer to after each training session.
