One-on-One Training

We all want our dogs to be the best they can be: Happy, content, and balanced!

Here's how it works:

I am a trainer that loves to train people and their dogs.   I work with all types of dogs and all types of behavior issues.  My specialty is Rescues that are having a hard time adjusting to their environment.   I do not use any type of punishment measures.  I start with what motivates the dog and use those measures as a reward system and we go from there.

With One-on-One Private Training, you and your dog learn together at a pace you are comfortable with.

Personalized programs, flexible scheduling, and all in your home.

Together we work as a team to help your canine be balanced and well adjusted in the home.   After each session, you will receive in your instructions what we went over and the importance of practice what was learned.

My techniques are easy to understand and have shown to be successful with past clients and their dogs. I can customize training to fit your needs from basic or advanced training techniques to problem-solving specific behaviors.

Understanding our dogs is the 1st step and how to communicate with them is the 2nd step. No matter if you have a brand new puppy or a 10 yr. old mixed breed, all dogs can be taught what their role is in the house hold so they be content and happy dogs.
