Our first step

Is to get in touch, and set up our first session!

In our first session together, I’ll get to know you, your pup, and learn about what’s most important for your lifestyle. We’ll build a training program to reach your goals efficiently.

Our training by teaching a common language for clear communication based on marker words, how to use rewards, and understanding your dog’s body language and emotions.

We’ll meet every 1 to 2 weeks as we start out, then progress to monthly checkups. In each lesson, you and your dog will learn new skills to practice during the week.

I’m here to give you the skills, knowledge, and coaching so you’ll know how to confidently help your dog navigate our human world.

Lessons are offered Mon through Fri during the day.
