Living Well Together
Whatever the problem or whatever the goal, my one-on-one visits are designed to help you and your canine live well together. From simple manners to advanced obedience training (videos here), I understand that every dog and family is unique. For this reason I use a variety of techniques customized to your specific situation, goals, and your pet's particular personality. This flexibility can provide effective results where other single-method approaches may fail. All sessions are patiently and conveniently provided in your home where everyone is more relaxed, specific goals can be practiced, and any problems can be observed and addressed. No payment for services is ever required in advance, and you only pay for those sessions you find beneficial.
Teamwork
I work with dogs and owners together as a team, with a "dual-teaching" approach at the core of every session. Dogs are helped to respect and listen to their owners, while owners are coached on ways to interact and communicate effectively with their pet.
Owner's involved with their dog's education can build stronger relationships, improve the mental and physical well-being of their pet, and establish a foundation for a safe, rewarding, and happy life together. Making effective communication and training a natural part of life is the key to good behavior and superior results.
Need Something Else?
Although many clients call for obedience work or help to fix / correct a problem dog behavior, I do offer other services. These include simple manners (no jumping, pulling on the leash, etc.), puppy socialization and housebreaking, confidence building, and preparing your pet for a new baby in the home.
It Starts With A Phone Call
