Let us do the training while you live your life! Our "Busy Life, Brilliant Training" program is designed for today's active families who want a well-mannered companion without sacrificing their busy schedule. Our trainer comes to your home, works directly with your dog, and provides potty breaks - all while you're at work, running errands, or managing your day.
Transform your daily walks from a frustrating tug-of-war into enjoyable, relaxing strolls. Our "Stress-Free Strolls" program focuses exclusively on developing polite leash manners through consistent, professional training in your neighborhood environment. This program is perfect for dogs who pull, zigzag, or make walks challenging but do not show reactivity (barking/lunging) toward other dogs or people.
Walking a reactive dog can be stressful, isolating, and emotionally draining. Our "Confidence & Calm" program is specially designed to help reactive dogs develop the skills to navigate their environment with greater confidence and reduced stress. Using only force-free methods, we work at your dog's pace to build positive associations and create more peaceful walks for both of you.
This focused program builds confidence and emotional balance using gentle, science-based techniques. Ideal for anxious, fearful, or reactive dogs, including recent rescues and those with difficult pasts. We'll establish the calm foundation your dog needs before specialized training can succeed. Transform stress into confidence through positive, compassionate methods that create lasting behavioral change.
Create a peaceful living environment where your dog becomes a joy to live with. This comprehensive program develops practical everyday skills for dogs ready to move beyond basics. Focus on real-life challenges like visitor greetings, calm settling, quiet behavior, and reliable responses. Build on your dog's foundation to establish lasting harmony and communication throughout your home.
When navigating difficult dog parenting challenges, compassionate guidance makes all the difference. Our Support Program creates a safe space during overwhelming situations—from behavioral crises to emotional decisions to grief and loss. Through focused sessions with a professional who deeply understands both canine behavior and the human-animal bond, you'll find clarity, validation, and practical steps forward during your most challenging moments.
Excessive Barking, Leash Reactivity, Aggression, Jumping, Mouthiness, House Soiling, Destruction, Separation Anxiety, Stranger Danger & Resource Guarding are all issues that are difficult for dogs, pet parents and families. Understanding your dog's unique needs, previous learning and experiences, breed traits, environment and personality are all considered as well as your own needs, abilities, concerns and goals.
You aren't alone if you feel like you have done everything but still can't figure out why you are having "problems" with your dog. Food is a great motivator, but some behaviors can't be "fixed" with treat training alone and punishment often compounds the issues. It's important to understand what your dog is telling you before you try to solve what you (and everyone else) thinks are her behavior issues. There is no one size fits all approach.
A relationship based dog training approach will help you develop a mutually beneficial relationship with your dog. Understanding what is expected from each family member (including your dog) will set you all up for success, peace and happiness. By learning who your dog is, what your dog needs, what external factors are at play, and how your dog fits into your family and lifestyle, you can implement a realistic training plan right away.
