Foundation Course
Tailor-made Programs:
No two dogs (or families) are the same. I will work with you to create a customized plan that fits your specific needs, whether you’re struggling with a high-energy dog or need support with puppy training.
Gentle and Effective Techniques:
I understand the emotional and physical challenges some pet owners face. My approach is calm, compassionate, and designed to help you build a positive relationship with your dog at a pace that feels right for you.
Walk-and-Talk Approach:
Training doesn’t need to be confined to a classroom. We’ll meet for walks that double as both training sessions and opportunities for you to get out, move, and connect with your dog in a stress-free, enjoyable way.
