Training and Behavior Modification
Private training sessions in your home

Pupply Kindergarten
​Set your puppy up for success

Puppies are pure joy - and hard work!  All effort put in during this critical period of life pays off greatly in the future through preventing problem behaviors, teaching good manners, and building the foundation necessary for a harmonious life together.  Work with a certified trainer and behavior consultant (CPDT-KA, CBCC-KA) to learn:

​

  • Effective puppy socialization methods

  • Puppy proofing your home

  • Potty Training 

  • Basic manners and behaviors

  • Resource guarding prevention

Foundational Behaviors
​Teach new behaviors at any age

Teaching basic skills are essential for your dog's well-being.  Some behaviors are nothing short of life-saving, others extremely useful in their own right or can be used to replace unwanted behaviors.  And the rest - just plain fun!  Work with a certified trainer and behavior consultant (CPDT-KA, CBCC-KA) to learn:

​

  • Basic behaviors on cue (sit, down, touch, drop it, stay, go to your mat, and more).

  • Loose leash walking

  • Reliable recalls

  • Safe Play

  • Tricks

Behavior Modification​
Reduce or eliminate unwanted behaviors  

Problem behaviors can be extremely stressful for all.  Many problem behaviors stem from underlying emotions such as fear and anxiety.  Others are learned.  Both can be modified using gentle, effective, and evidence-based methods of behavior modification.  Work with a certified behavior consultant (CBCC-KA) to help resolve:  

​

  • Leash reactivity (lunging, barking)

  • Excessive barking

  • Resource Guarding

  • Destructive behaviors

  • And any other unwanted behaviors

Separation Anxiety Training Program
Remote training sessions 

Separation Anxiety
​Teach your dog to feel safe when home  alone

Does your dog show signs of distress when left alone, such as destroying things, vocalizing, or eliminating?  These behaviors can be very difficult for you and your dog - but know that there is hope.  Work with a certified separation anxiety trainer (CSAT) to effectively resolve these behaviors through scientific and humane methods - all aimed to teach your dog to feel safe when home alone. 

​

This program is structured in 4 week increments and includes the following:

​

1.  One initial 30 minute complimentary video consult to learn more about your situation.

2.  One initial 90 minute separation anxiety evaluation - done live via Zoom.

3.  Four customized, simple to follow, exercises ("missions") - for you to complete each week.     

4.  Weekly 60 minute live reassessments to track progress, provide support and resolve issues.

5.  Daily feedback and support.

​

This program is done remotely (the dog needs to be alone in his own home), and therefore, I am able to serve anyone throughout the USA.

PRINCIPLES

1.  The laws of dog behavior and learning are based on science - not anecdotes, myths, or opinions.

2.  The most important component to your dog's progress in training and overall well-being - is you. 

3.  Mastering the general principles and techniques of dog training allows you to progress far beyond our sessions together. 

4.  Training should be joyful for you and your dog - pain or discomfort have no place in learning. 

5.  Training is lifelong and every interaction is a teaching moment.  

6.  Training is a step by step process.  Just like you would not expect a child who doesn't know the alphabet to read, do not expect a dog who has not mastered a recall at home to come to you when chasing a squirrel. 

7.  No one can guarantee results, but we can choose the right tools in the right moment to increase the likelihood of learning to occur. 

8.  Think what you want your dog to do, not what you do not want.

9.  Your dog's nutrition, health, genetics, and environment all impact learning and must be taken into account.  

10.  Play with your dog!  This provides essential mental and physical stimulation.
