Your training program will be designed individually for your success, and you will never need additional lessons when you finish the curriculum, nothing will be left unresolved! There is no need for multiple series of lessons (puppy, intermediate, advanced), nor countless hours in each lesson, my one-on-one training program allows your dog to not only quickly progress but excel beyond the basics!
Here are just some examples:

Correcting:

Yes... it only takes four weeks!!!

The timing of each lesson depends on how your dog is progressing, they average one hour, regardless of time, the lesson will not end without your dog successfully completing each command, that is my guarantee!

Heel is the most important command, when you control your dog on a walk, it is the most primitive and instinctual way to communicate that you are the leader, and you will provide the protection! This will completely eliminate reactivity and they can enjoy their walks without feeling stressed or tense, and best of all, accompany you wherever you go!

Steady comes from field training, it is a perfect sit and stay with distance and distractions! This is most helpful when the doorbell rings and someone comes into your home… your dog will go to their place, and sit and stay "STEADILY" until you release them to calmly greet your guest!

Recall is coming when called in a stimulating situation with an added sit and stay! This ensures that your dog will ignore the rabbit, come and calmly sit next to you and wait for your next command!

When your dog performs in these environments, there isn’t anything they cannot do, anywhere! I will be offering all my knowledge in an accelerated program to teach YOU how to train your dog, and to give you the confidence to provide your dog what they need from you… that is what makes you successful for their entire lives! Things can come up as your puppy develops and your dog matures, and even though you will know what to do, you can always count on me to help, I really enjoy staying involved!

Personalized training in stimulating outdoor environments provides you the tools and understanding to enforce your dogs specific behavioral needs in any situation and no matter the distraction!

Personalized Training for You and Your Dog!

My promise is that you and your dog will look forward to training together, you will be more than satisfied with what you’ve learned and accomplished and you will be ready to enjoy spending time together at breweries and farmers markets and even bring them with you on vacations and when you travel to visit your family and friends!
