A well-trained dog is a joy to live with, have around children and guests, and take out in public. Let me help you develop the attention, reliability and trust you desire with your dog.
As an animal behavior and training specialist, I cater to dog owners experiencing behavior problems as well as those merely looking for good obedience classes. My 30 years of experience in behavior modification have resulted in referrals by veterinarians and other pet professionals alike.
I specialize in temperament, relationship and behavioral issues in puppies and adult dogs, such as:
- No recall (won’t come when called)
- Aggression
- Puppy obedience problems (biting, house soiling, jumping)
- Poor leash behavior
- Kennel / crate training issues
- Separation anxiety disorders
- Excitable dogs
- Displaying “dominant” or “alpha” behavior
- Destructive behavior
To help dog owners with these issues, I use motivational and positive methods that support a fast and eager attitude towards learning, attention, trust and most importantly, joyful relationships. I continue to stay abreast of the most current studies and knowledge in behavior and teaching methods through continued education classes, reading and attending related workshops put on by other specialists.
Group Classes & In-Home Consultations
For starting out with your new puppy – or even your older dog – in obedience training, I offer personalized, group obedience classes. Small classes allow me to focus on each trainer and their dog. If your concerns are your dog’s behavioral issues and you’d like help with behavior modification, I can come to your home for a private, in-home behavior consultation. I’ll be able to understand the problem(s) as well as the causes, and thus give you behavior counseling and a retraining program based on your individual needs.
Contact me today for more information on dog obedience classes, to schedule a consultation in your home, or to learn more about my training and behavior modification methods to achieve a happy, well-behaved dog.
