Training Services
My Philosophy
As a balanced dog trainer, I specialize in creating customized training plans that meet the unique needs of every dog and owner. I accept dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes, whether you're looking to address behavioral challenges, build foundational skills, or achieve advanced training goals. My approach is centered on understanding each dog’s temperament, personality, and learning style, as well as honoring your preferences and goals as their owner.
My mission is to help you and your dog build a strong, trusting bond through clear communication and customized training methods. By tailoring my approach to meet the individual needs of each dog and respecting your values as an owner, I strive to create a positive and transformative training experience for both of you.
Private Lessons
What's Included:
Every training program begins with basic obedience skills as the foundation — no matter your dog’s age or experience level. Building these skills first creates a shared language between you and your dog, strengthens communication, and lays the groundwork for everything else we teach.
You can expect:
- Foundational Obedience Skills — Sit, down, stay, place, leash manners, recall, and impulse control to create a reliable training base.
- Clear Communication & Relationship Building — Setting you and your dog up for long-term success by teaching you how to work together effectively.
- Customized Supply List — Specific recommendations for tools, treats, and equipment tailored to your dog and your goals.
- Progressive Skill Building — Once the foundation is in place, we advance to more complex behaviors or address specific challenges such as reactivity, fear, or impulse control.
How It Works:
- Initial Consultation — Start with an assessment of your dog’s current behavior and establish your training goals.
- Lesson Format — Each session is one hour long and scheduled once per week (with the option to meet every other week if preferred).
- Customized Training Plan — Every session is tailored to your dog’s temperament, age, and your lifestyle.
- Flexible Options — Choose one-off lessons or a package of several sessions to build momentum.
- Owner Education — You’ll get hands-on learning and practical tools to reinforce training between sessions.
Pricing Options:
- Single Lesson: $75
- Six-Lesson Package: $400
