PRIVATE TRAINING
You and your unique situation will
require unique solutions.
We will work together as a team in virtual or hybrid (combination of in person and virtual) private dog training sessions to help you create sustainable solutions for both ends of the leash. By learning how to effectively communicate with your dog, teaching you the skills to reduce and prevent undesirable behaviors while teaching more desirable ones, I will help you feel you empowered & optimistic moving forward in your life with your dog.
VIRTUAL GROUP CLASSES
Fun group classes from the
convenience of your own home
Classes are held virtually via Zoom so if you have an anxious, fearful, or otherwise behaviorally "rich" pup, you don't have to worry about other people or dogs, because I will coach you from convenience and comfort of your own home. Classes are kept small to ensure a high level of individual attention an coaching. Classes are also recorded and sent out right after each class ends.
​
Current offerings include Trick Dog class for each level of Do More With Your Dog title and Don't Sweat the Small Dog. Classes are offered on a month to month basis and sell out quick. To be notified of group class offerings, please sign up for my email list using the button below.
