I use a positive reward based system to teach, combined with relationship building and boundary setting.

My method is ideal for dog parents who don’t just want a robot-dog who only listens because they are afraid or suppressed. I believe in relationship building and mutual respect between dogs and their parents while setting clear boundaries and expectations.

Behavioral modification is one of my main fields of expertise. My approach to any behavioral issue is holistic and often includes obedience, management, relationship/communication, as well as addressing the causes of the unwanted behaviors. I also take into consideration the dog's emotional state, which's the most important piece of the puzzle because learning can't take place unless the dog is in the right state of mind, and many trainers overlook that fact.

We live in a society where instant gratification has become the norm, however there are no magic fixes when it comes to animal behavior. Dog training requires practice, patience, and consistency. The more work you put into training your dog, the better results you get, and I'm here to guide and support you throughout your journey.

No, I use rewards to teach and strongly believe that training dogs under threat and punishment is neither fair nor appropriate. Sustained attention and reward is the most effective and powerful.

I always recommend meeting at least once a week so we remain on the right track and transform your dog into a civilized well behaved citizen.

Sometimes dog parents wait until their dogs develop behavioral problems before they reach out for help. However, preventing those behaviors from developing is a lot easier than trying to undo unwanted behaviors that the dog has been practicing. For that reason I recommend working with me as soon as or even before the puppy comes home to put him/her on the track to success and teach you as a dog parent how to deal with your new pup so they can positively acclimate in their forever home.
