Helping Dogs and Their People Thrive Together
Over a decade of working with dogs in a science based, positive reinforcement method
I’m a professional dog trainer with 12 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. While I am newer to offering formal training services, my foundation comes from over a decade of real-world experience observing, handling, and supporting dogs in their everyday environments.
My training philosophy is rooted in positive reinforcement and force-free methods. I believe that training should be humane, practical, and tailored to the individual dog, creating a foundation of trust and clear communication between dogs and their people. I focus on building skills that dogs can use in real-life situations, strengthening the bond with their humans while helping them feel confident and secure.
Tailored Care in Your Pet's Environment
I use a variety of strategies and techniques grounded in science and behavior principles, including:
-
Clicker and marker training to clearly communicate desired behaviors
-
Shaping and capturing to encourage problem-solving and confidence
-
Management and environment setup to prevent unwanted behaviors while teaching alternatives
-
Behavior modification for anxiety, reactivity, or fear-based challenges
-
Consistency, timing, and reinforcement schedules tailored to each dog’s personality and learning style
