Frequently Asked Questions

  I use relationship-based, reward-focused training that builds communication, trust, and confidence between dogs and their owners. 

 I work with puppies, adolescent dogs, and adult dogs of all breeds, ages, and backgrounds. 

 Potty training, puppy biting, leash pulling, jumping, barking, recall, basic obedience, socialization, fear, and many common behavior challenges. 

 Yes! Live virtual coaching allows me to work with clients from the comfort of their homes while providing personalized guidance and support. 

 Every dog is different. Progress depends on your goals, your dog's learning history, and the consistency of practice between sessions 

 I guarantee that I'll provide you with the knowledge, coaching, and support you need. Your success depends on consistent practice and teamwork between you and your dog. 

 A flat collar or harness, a standard leash, soft treats, and your dog's favorite toy.

 Simply book a consultation through my website or contact me directly. We'll discuss your goals and create a training plan that's right for you and your dog. 

 Absolutely. I believe training and veterinary care work hand in hand. I'm happy to work alongside your veterinarian or other pet professionals to support your dog's overall health and well-being. 

 Your dog will work directly with me—not be passed from trainer to trainer. With more than 25 years of experience, CPDT-KA certification, Victoria Stilwell Academy training, and AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator credentials, I provide personalized coaching designed to help you build a confident, well-mannered companion and a stronger relationship with your dog.
