Philosophy

My training philosophy is to teach you how to communicate with your puppy or dog in a kind, positive, effective and humane way that is not only fun and rewarding for the dog, but also for the owner! I believe in teaching people how to understand and communicate with their dog(s) not only in the home, but out in real life situations. Dogs are pack animals and socialization is a key component in any balanced dogs’ life.

Through proper communication, respect, and trust you can achieve the relationship you have always wanted with your dog. I offer training in many areas including socialization, manners & obedience, and anxiety issues.

In home sessions allow for one on one training for you, your dog and your family. It is always vital to make sure everyone in your family is implementing the same strategies when correcting unwanted behaviors. Group classes, group hikes, and dog park exposures allow for continued socialization and a more balanced dog.

Boot Camp is also available for those dogs that require the extra time and energy to resolve their behavioral issues and can be the perfect solution for those with hectic schedules. We will do the training for you and then reintegrate your trained dog back into your household.

No matter what route you choose to explore, you will gain a new way to communicate with your dog and will learn effective strategies to combat any behavioral issues for the rest of your faithful companions’ life!
