Support your dog trainer by sharing your story

Hi, I am Madison! I am a positive reinforcement based trainer. I professionally trained Service Dogs for 2.5 years at a Service Dog organization before breaking off on my own. I am in the process of getting a reactivity certification and a certification through IAABC. My passion is learning how to understand dogs at a compassionate level so that we can work with them and train in a way that makes them comfortable and happy. I spend my free time doing continuous education to be the best dog trainer I can.

Behavioral issue focus:

Mouthiness, suspicion, barking issues, reactivity, leash pulling, resource guarding, jumping on people, nervousness

Dog training methods:

I am a positive reinforcement based trainer. I focus on building a line of communication with the owner and dog to build a trusting learning relationship. I offer a free 15 minute virtual consultation. From there I will create an individualized training plan based on a questionnaire/consult and we will get to work! I am available at anytime for my clients and will adjust the plan as needed!

Why I became a dog trainer:

I became a trainer because I have always had a passion for animals. I love working with the animal and helping the owner learn about how to help their animal. I want to spread what I have learned so that pet owners have the best relationship possible with their pet.

My favorite part of being a dog trainer:

I love when the pet owners see a difference and are able to tell me about how it has improved their life and the dog's life

My #1 dog training tip:

Obedience can be added at any point. Focus on creating a bond that helps your dog feel secure so that they feel safe and comfortable.
