Transform Your Dog's Behavior with Positive Reinforcement!
Why use positive reinforcement training methods?
Decades of research show that reward-based, force-free dog training is the only approach to changing behavior that comes without unwanted behavioral side effects, risk of physical harm, and potential damage to the relationship between dogs and their people. In fact, leading veterinary bodies like the American Veterinary Society
of Animal Behavior ( https://avsab.org/resources/position-statements/ ) agree that reward-based training is the safest, most effective way to train all dogs, regardless of breed, age, size, or temperament.
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.
