Specialty is in agility and prepping puppies and adult dogs for sports like agility. Private sessions available for reactive dogs and sensitive dogs that both will benefit with confidence boosting exercises.

Behavioral issue focus:

We mostly are getting requests to work on dog to dog reactivity and lately dog to human reactivity.

Dog training methods:

Our methods are solely force free, we work on making the dog feel better about our environment and about what we ask them to do. We train the humans to be able to read/ understand their dog. Training plans include weekly home work.

Why I became a dog trainer:

Because as a dog hiker, I saw some of my clients using aversive dog trainers, and saw my dogs behaviour go down hill. I needed credentials behind me for people to take heart to what I already knew.

My favorite part of being a dog trainer:

I love seeing people 's relationship with their dog become stronger!

My #1 dog training tip:

Train the dog you have in front of you
