Personalized Training Plans
Every dog is unique and requires a personalized training plan. I work with you to develop a plan that fits your dog's specific needs and goals based on science and the industries best practices.
Behavior Modification
Is your dog fearful of stranger? Do they pull on leash or lunge at other dogs? I specialize in addressing behavioral issues such as leash reactivity, aggression, and fear; helping dogs build confidence and coaching owners on the nuances of dog behavior which bridges the communication gap between our two species.
Transform Your Dog's Behavior with Bright Paws!
Aggression
Is your dog displaying signs of aggression towards other dogs or people? Are your dogs not getting along or fighting with each other? I can help address the root cause of the aggression and coach you on how to keep them, and those around them safe.
Leash Training
Is your dog pulling on the leash during walks and making it difficult for you to enjoy your time together? My leash training programs can teach your dog to walk calmly on a leash and make outings more enjoyable for both of you. Day Training is the perfect solution for loose leash walking because I do the work for you!.
Trick Training
Want to teach your dog some fun and impressive tricks? I use positive reinforcement techniques to make learning fun for your dog. From simple behaviors like WATCH ME and TOUCH, to complex tricks like rolling over, speaking on cue and army crawling, we've got you covered!
Service Dog Training
Do you or a loved one require the assistance of a service dog? At 20, I selected an Aussie puppy for my mother who eventually became her service dog--accompanying her to college classes, navigating airports, and sitting next to her in the airline cabin. This included very long flights to Hawaii with several layovers. Her dog, Tsunami was amazing! I will help you train your dog to perform specific tasks and behaviors that will enrich your daily life.
Potty Training
Is your dog struggling with potty training? I can help you establish a routine and teach your dog to use the designated potty area with positive reinforcement techniques.
