Don't Take My Word For It
Here is What My Clients Say

Why Does it Work?

Empowering

Learn how to have a dog that listens and knows how to behave without working for months (or even years!) to improve your dog’s behaviors.

Effective

From pulling on the leash to jumping up on visitors, I have seen it all. And I can help you have a better behaved dog.

 Stay and Train

In Phase One, I teach your dog how to be a good dog. They live in my home as a member of my family and train in a real-life environment.

Private Lessons

Phase Two consists of personal training sessions with you and your dog. I will be there to teach you how to get all of those good behaviors from your dog.
