Methods & Approach

 

With over 20 years experience in working with people and handling dogs, I have learned that the key to success is in coaching the owners in a way that makes sense to them, where they feel comfortable to adopt my methods without my presence. Nearly every dog behavior problem can be solved with the proper education and application of balanced reinforcement methods so long as there is unwavering commitment from the dog owners.

Some of the most unwanted behaviors found in dogs are aggression, fear, anxiety, possession, unpredictable behaviors, high energy or destructive patterns. Dogs displaying these behaviors have a much higher chance of being passed from home to home, or causing severe damage. Preventing lawsuits and accidents which endanger our children, elderly, other animals and people is the passion behind what I do.

My focus is on educating people about, solving and eliminating destructive behavior issues. I teach people to implement natural techniques and see immediate and long lasting results. I continually see that clients with a can-do attitude who are willing to trust me, learn from my knowledge and are coachable always have great success!

A quick note….

What makes me stand out from other trainers?

  • 20+ years experience in solving aggressive, high anxiety, obsessive and destructive cases and preventing puppies from these altogether

  • Flexible time & payment options - I pride myself in giving each session the time it truly needs and I offer payment options up to 36 months

  • Leave behind material and equipment that I have written, hand selected and tailor fit just for you and your dog

  • Free continuous training through monthly social events at a local park & through my Facebook Group, and future online courses
