Instead of teaching you how to train your dog, I train your dog for you multiple days a week and teach you how to maintain the behavior at weekly transfer sessions. More efficient and leads to faster results.

Dog guardians play a supportive, but key role when it comes to day training. Their job is to put the management suggestions into place and maintain the skills handed over at the weekly transfer sessions

Because training involves a lot of repetition broken down into incremental steps, day training packages focus on a max of 2-3 skills. Quality over quantity.

For both day training and coaching packages, training will take place in your home and/or in public spaces depending on the area of focus

While you certainly can be, your presence is not required. Your presence is only required for the weekly transfer and subsequent follow up sessions. Your participation in transfer and follow up sessions is necessary for the training to be effective.

I strictly us. This means your dog will receive something they like when they get it right and either no reward or loss of access to something they want when they get it wrong. I do not use use tools that rely on pain or force.

Day training and coaching sessions take place Monday through Friday between approximately 12:00-6:00 depending on the day of the week

In private coaching the owner learns how to build and maintain new behaviors. Between sessions, they practice to prepare the dog for the next step of the training plan

Day training, coaching, and transfer sessions are all one hour in length.

Package lengths vary from 3-8 weeks

No, I do not take separation anxiety cases or serious aggression cases (history of damaging bites). I know wonderful trainers who do however! Reach out and I will connect you with someone who can help

Part of the heavy lifting is teaching the dog to respond in many different contexts so they are set up for success when training is transferred over to you

It is a big investment! My goal is to protect your investment by making training as efficient and doable as possible for you and your dog, so that you enjoy real life results

While my number one goal is to get you results, I cannot (nor would it be ethical of me to) guarantee specific outcomes within a certain timeframe. Factors such as the type of behavior/s, an individual’s rate of learning, and adherence to the training plan can all play a role in training outcomes.
