In-Home Private Training: During our private training, we coach you on how to train your dog.  While working together, we discuss how dogs learn, how dogs communicate, and how to use positive reinforcement techniques.

Getting a new rescue dog or want to get a rescue dog? With all my years in fostering shelter dogs, volunteering at shelters and all of my dogs being rescued from a shelter there is a lot to know, how to be ready for your new dog, what to expect in the first 3 days, 3 weeks and 3 months. Helping shelter dogs and keeping them out of the shelter is my primary reason for being a dog trainer. Reach out so I can help you get ready or pick the right dog for you and your family.

Some reasons to schedule an in-home private training session:

  • Leash Reactivity, barking, and Lunging during walks.

  • Preparing your dog to go to the vet or have surgery. How to provide enrichment and training while your dog heals from surgery.

  • Muzzle Training

  • Attention barking

  • Jumping and nipping

  • Pulling on leash

  • Body handling issues, not wanting to put on a harness, coat or booties.
