I provide science-based, force-free, positive reinforcement (R+) training for dogs of every age, size & temperament. Depending on the type of training you require, I can perform the training session in your home or mine, out on walks or online. These are also excellent alternate skills to use in place of unwanted behaviors. Regardless of the type of training you choose, it is essential that YOU are involved in the process. Foundational behavior training can consist of me training your dog for the majority of the one-hour training session, but I always recommend that you are as involved as you can be to ensure sustainable results. If you purchase a package, the final session is always 'people training', where you (and preferably all members of your family) are coached in detail on how to maintain the behaviors your pup has learned over the course of the previous sessions. Know this: I cannot FIX your dog - I merely teach skills and lay the foundation for alternate behaviors - it is up to YOU to ensure that the training continues ! If you are willing to put in the work, I can help to improve your dog's behavior while greatly enhancing your relationship with your Mutt.

Different from alternate behaviors whereby we are teaching your dog 'new tricks', behavioral modification training addresses complicated behaviors that already exist & require a change in your dog's perspective or emotional response. If your dog is lunging or barking at other dogs or new people, for example, it is up to us to let your pup know that these recurring stimuli can be pleasant things & not scary threats. If your dog has a negative reaction to loud noises, moving objects or specific types of passersby, it is our job to help change these emotional responses from bad ones to good ones. In addition to showing you appropriate management techniques, which help you to control your dog's environment in the moment, I can teach you the proper timing, mechanics & counter-conditioning methods required to change how your dog FEELS about the stimuli that bring about these reactions, which is where real behavior change occurs. These are comprehensive efforts, and if you put in the time you WILL see positive changes!

Does your dog pant and pace when you are preparing to leave the house? Refuse to eat, destroy furniture, scratch, whine or bark incessantly while you are gone? Act stressed or panicked when you return? Your dog is not trying to 'get back at you' for leaving her alone, and it is not something she will simply 'get over' any more than you might get over a fear of heights by being dangled from a bridge. Separation Anxiety is a panic disorder, experienced differently by each dog - there is no 'quick fix' and response rates to modification of fear and anxiety-based behaviors vary. But, when a systematic training plan is established and updated regularly according to your dog's specific needs and response rates, progress WILL happen. It might seem impossible to you now, but I promise - I can help !

Separation Anxiety Training addresses the fear and anxiety your dog feels when left alone using a minute, systematic and broken down application of Exposure Therapy to change how your dog feels about her alone time. Reliable and consistent application of these micro-steps help your dog to understand that being alone isn't scary, while systematically building the assurance that you will never leave her for longer than she can handle and will always come back. Separation Anxiety Packages include daily step by step training plans, regular feedback on every plan, video review, and weekly one-on-one meetings with in depth online guidance:
