Perfect for puppies or newly adopted dogs and even older dogs. I teach foundational skills like:
* Sit, down, stay
* Come when called under low distraction
* Loose-leash walking
* Focus and engagement with distractions
These essentials create a strong bond between you and your dog while setting the groundwork for more advanced skills.
Take your dog’s skills to the next level with precision and reliability under high levels of distraction. Advanced obedience includes:
* Everything under essential obedience
* Off-leash control customized to your needs
* Advanced recall and heel work under high environmental distractions
* Long-duration stays and place commands
* Real-world proofing in busy environments
Struggling with unwanted behaviors? I work with dogs dealing with:
* Reactivity (dogs, people, objects)
* Aggression or resource guarding
* Anxiety, fear-based behaviors, or phobias
* Excessive barking, jumping, or chewing, hyper-arousal
Each behavior plan is customized, humane, and aimed at long-term success.
I offer service dog training for individuals with physical, psychiatric, or neurological needs. This includes:
* Public access training
* Task training (e.g., mobility assistance, alerting, retrievals)
* Handler education and support
* Fully personalized service dog development from puppy to placement
* NOTE - not all dogs will pass and why assessment is imperative
(I follow ADA guidelines and train dogs to meet legal and ethical service standards.)
