TRAINING

I help you understand how to communicate with your dog and trust them on and off-leash. Whether you have a new puppy, a recent rescue, just brushing up skills, or need help with behavioral issues, I offer one-on-one training and group classes. We add time, distance, and distractions as soon as you and your puppy are ready. I don’t use a cookie-cutter training model because every dog and owner learns differently. I essentially train you to become your dog’s trainer.
