Training Through Trust
Every Time
I believe in a structured training approach that creates lasting change through cooperation—not dominance. By combining classical and operant conditioning, I help you build clear communication channels with your dog, guiding them to understand which actions lead to positive outcomes. This boosts confidence, motivation, and a natural desire to follow your lead.
When it comes to obedience and behavioral issues, I use advanced techniques like leash cues, behavioral dog training, and preventative measures for dangerous habits. My clients learn three foundational training events that improve their dog’s behavior—supported through private dog training sessions, video resources, and detailed training materials.
This method sets you and your dog up for success now and for years to come, giving you skills you’ll carry for a lifetime.
