How It Works
Every training program begins with a comprehensive 90-minute consultation in your home. We'll discuss your concerns, observe your dog's behavior, identify the factors contributing to the problem, and begin working toward effective solutions.
Every dog and every family are different. I consider your dog's temperament, personality, and behavior, along with your family's lifestyle and goals, to develop an approach that's practical, effective, and sustainable. New behaviors are taught through clear communication and positive reinforcement, then maintained with fair, predictable accountability.
Before I leave, you’ll have a clear understanding of what to practice, why it matters, and how to keep making progress. Follow-up sessions provide additional instruction and troubleshooting as you develop the skills and confidence needed to succeed.
