You've got questions. We've got answers.
This first session is all about getting to know both of you. That means listening to your concerns, your dog’s body language, and the dynamics of your partnership.
My goal here is not to judge, it’s to gather valuable insights so I can provide the most helpful, customized guidance possible. If your dog already has a solid sit-stay or focus behavior, there’s no need to start from scratch. I want to meet you where you are and build from there.
I'll walk us through a trauma informed assessment designed to help us create a training plan with clear goals and realistic expectations.
Virtual sessions are hosted via Google Meets or Zoom so that we both have an opportunity to see each other face-to-face.
During the session your dog can be resting while we chat or up and actively training.
I will share videos that demonstrate the skills I want you to do with your dog OR get one of my dogs up and moving to do a live demonstration.
Most of my clients find email to be the best solution for contact between sessions. You can share videos to be reviewed and ask multiple questions in one email.
I do also use Whats App and Facebook Messenger so you can contact me via those resources too.

Training isn’t a one-size-fits-all process.
Training packages are designed as a starting point to get you started on your journey; a flexible, evolving one, where we continually reassess:
Is your dog ready for the next step?
Are you ready?
What’s working?
What needs adjusting?
We offer a trauma informed approach to behavior modification training that supports both the dog owner and the dog, helping everyone to feel safe, calm & happy in the activities we do together.
If you're ready to get started on your training journey, reach out to us to find out where the best starting point is for you and your dog.
