Private Training for Dogs and Puppies
In-home positive training and behavior consulting
Professional, evidence-based training that helps you and your dog build more cooperation and connection through calmness, clarity, and skills.
Is this you?
You love your dog dearly—but things feel harder than you expected.
your puppy/teen is sweet but exhausting
your dog is struggling with fear, anxiety, or reactivity
walks feel difficult, unpleasant instead of peaceful
you’re relying a lot on No!
you’re confused by conflicting advice and just want clear, valid answers
you want guidance that’s calm, ethical, and grounded in current science
Let’s focus on well-being, agency, and reinforcement—
not commands or control
Rather than aiming for rigid obedience or using “corrections,” we create more understanding, the ability to make good choices, and reliable real-life skills.
These foundations support a well-adjusted dog—and an easier life together.
How can I help you and your dog?
Puppy Foundations
For new and experienced puppy parents who want calmer interactions, clear communication, and strong foundations from the very beginning — without overwhelm or confusion.
Adolescents (The Terrible Teen Stage)
For immature pups going through big developmental changes — helping you manage that energy, impulsivity, and growing independence with patience and clarity. And we teach what To Do instead of what Not to do.
Leash Walking
For dogs who pull, zigzag, lunge, or struggle with focus — so walks together can feel relaxed, safe, and more connected.
Big Feelings
Specialized guidance for dogs experiencing over-excitement, fear, anxiety, reactivity, or aggression. We apply thoughtful, structured plans that prioritize calmness, confidence, and resilience—for both of you.
Ready for Life-with-Dog to feel easier?
You don’t have to figure this out alone. If you’re ready for clear, expert guidance, and a training approach grounded in science and well-being, I’d love to support you.
