Training Services
For humans to live comfortably with another species, both parties need to learn each other’s languages. Many human expectations for dogs don’t come naturally to them! Following the Humane Hierarchy, we will assess your dog’s wellness and environment to improve your lives together. Then, using positive reinforcement, we can teach our learners specifically what we would like them to do instead of an undesirable behavior.
Together we can address:
pulling on leash
jumping during greetings
a perceived lack of “listening skills” (help building a recall, attention &/or consistent responses to cues)
fearfulness
over reactivity (vocalizing/lunging around triggers)
resource guarding
aggression
trouble with grooming or being handled
problems between pets in the home
Private Coaching
We’ll start our journey together with an in-home, 90-minute consultation. We will comprehensively discuss your household needs and your dog’s needs, including their behavior, history, physical health, and emotional well-being.
We will then co-create a comprehensive wellness plan tailored to your needs, including effective management strategies and a personalized training plan.
After your consultation, you’ll receive detailed follow-up notes via email for reference. I can also then recommend which private training package is most appropriate for your goals. All further training sessions are 60 minutes long and can be held at home, at a local park, at a pet-friendly business, or virtually via video call.
Printed notes and single follow-up sessions are available by request.

Day School Training
Day School Training Packages can be a convenient and engaging alternative to traditional board-and-train programs. In these personalized training sessions, I’ll teach your dog(s) the skills that matter most to you through fun and welfare-based methods. The best part is your pet gets to stay in your home! 90-minute transfer sessions (scheduled as you please) will help you master your dog’s new skills, foster consistency, and strengthen your bond.
Designed with your busy schedule in mind, Day School aims to transform dog training from a time-consuming task into a seamless, enjoyable process.
60-minute training sessions are done either in your home or neighborhood, at a pet-friendly local business, or at a public park.
To ensure your dog and goals for them are good candidates for Day School, we’ll start with a 90-minute, in-home consultation. I can then recommend the package that best aligns with your goals. Following your transfer session(s), you’ll receive detailed notes via email to keep for future reference. Printed notes are available by request!
