My belief in dog training is simple: what you give is what you will receive. No matter what goal you want to accomplish with your dog, it takes time, patience and EFFORT! No matter which program you choose- private lessons or my board and train program- it will require you, the owner, to put in the work. I believe that dogs need a clear understanding of what is expected of them. They need to understand what they should be doing, and what they shouldn’t be doing to not only reach their fullest potential, but to also live a balanced happy life. 

 

    My goal for you as the owner, is to strengthen both the bond, communication, and understanding between you and your dog. Once meeting both you and your dog, we will work together setting realistic goals and start the training process! With the help of various training tools and methodologies; you will have a full understanding of what you are doing, how to communicate to your dog what you want, and how to continue progressing with your dog!

 

    I pride myself in constantly learning different methods and using different dog training tools to best be able to help you and your dog. Just like us, each dog is different and may require differently training methods. With that being said, I customize a realistic training plan to achieve your dog training goal in the most efficient way possible. Regardless of training methodologies and/or training tools, all of my training utilizes praise and positive motivation as the foundation for success to ensure training is enjoyable for both you and your dog.
