My Philosophy
In my eyes, it is important to personalize training styles and approaches for each individual dog. I strive to work beyond a “one size fits all” mentality which means each session is tailored specifically to fit you and your dogs’ needs. I try to work within a handlers’ comfort zone in regards to tools or various approaches to training. I am a balanced trainer with a positive first mentality. I strive to create content, confident and stable dogs with clear means of communication between canine and handler.
What I do
I train in a variety of areas, specializing in obedience, behavioral modification and service dog training/public access work. I work with cases of reactivity, nervousness/anxiety, resource guarding, etc. I am also an AKC evaluator and can provide aid in titling your dog(s).
