My teaching style is rooted in positive reinforcement & Fear Free techniques. I am a certified Fear Free Veterinary Professional and a recent graduate from CATCH Canine Trainers Academy. I believe if we meet our dogs needs - physical, social, mental, emotional, nutritional - we help them feel safe with us. Providing for their safety and building trust is an incredibly fulfilling way to bond with them. I can help you read their body language, guide them toward good choices and provide enriching activities. I do not endorse methods that cause physical or mental harm to your dog. The ultimate goal for both my human & canine clients is to learn and have fun! I bring a calm confidence to our training sessions, and focus on patience and compassion for everyone involved. I will provide you with the tools to maintain positive results well after our sessions are done. I will explain why certain exercises are beneficial to your training goals, provide guidance on how to teach your dog certain cues and answer questions as we go along. I look forward to hearing from you!
