ABOUT
Philosophy:
Positive reinforcement and humane training techniques are used as we work with you and your dog(s). We start with meeting the dog where he is and making forward progress from there.
Offering virtual and in-person private training and behavior consulting, we work with you to help you learn how to teach your dog what you want from him. By improving your understanding of and how to more effectively communicate with your dog(s), we work together to help them become well behaved at home, as well as when out and about in our community.
