This course is designed for dogs who have a naturally even temperament with no major behavioral issues. As well as, owners who are able to spend minimum of 30-45 minutes per day working with their dog in between weekly sessions.
Jumping, pulling and other minor issues will be addressed. Issues such as reacting heavily towards other dogs or people, whether friendly or not, typically takes more time to address. If you’re not sure where your dog falls, I suggest signing up for a free in person consultation.

This course is for anyone who has 30-45 minutes per day to dedicate to achieving the dog they want to have.
For the first few weeks, we’ll work on the basics of communication and making sure all of your dogs physical and mental needs are being properly addressed (sometimes this can be the source of problem behaviors). Once the foundation is set we can address problem behaviors more effectively on a case by case basis. Every dog is different so the solution to their behaviors is different.

New puppy owners. Whether this is your first puppy or your 10th I’ll set you up with everything you need to know to set your puppy up for a confident and mannered adult dog. We’ll go over what you need to be doing during your puppy’s primary fear period - 8 to 16 weeks. We’ll go over what safe socialization looks like and how to keep your puppy safe from disease while doing it.
I assume some people reading this have puppies so my PSA is to start early. With positive only techniques we can start training the day you bring your new pup home. Training doesn’t just mean obedience cues, it also means teaching them how they respond when you’re not telling them what they should be doing. It’s teaching them that new things aren’t scary, its teaching them how to use their mind to solve problems, and most importantly its teaching you how to communicate with them and provide for them in the ways that make sense to them.
