What can I help you with?
Basic Manners Dog Training
Enjoy a Connected K9 who’s a joy to live with at home, easy to take anywhere, and impresses all who encounter them.
We’ll focus on the basics you need most—sits and downs, and stays or coming when called or leaving non-chewable items alone or learning polite alternatives to jumping to say hi—you tell me and we’ll get it done.

Relief from Behavior Issues
Living with fear and aggression can be deeply stressful for dog and human alike. Fortunately, most issues can be greatly improved—and often resolved altogether.
Whether your dog is growling and barking on leash at other dogs or strangers, taking issue with canine or human family members or household visitors, struggling to share her things, or suffering from anxiety, I want to bring you relief.
To do so, I use a range of positive training approaches, including BAT (Behavior Adjustment Training) and Jane Gerard’s Circle Fencing for leash reactive dogs, for example. Having multiple tools in my box allows me to apply the strategy best suited to you and your dog.

Dogs, Babies, & Children
The mixed pitter-patter of dog paws and little feet can warm the heart. But when dogs and children don’t connect well, the stress can be unbearable. Please let me help.
My program can be customized to address prevention by getting your dog ready for baby’s arrival, or used to smooth out issues already at play.
Whether you need basics like teaching your dog to walk calmly with a stroller, go to his or her bed during feeding times and diaper changes, and learn not to jump on mommy or the kids, or are struggling with issues of over-exuberant play or aggression, I can help restore household harmony.
