Ways to Work Together

Day Training
Best for busy owners
Day Training is focused program where I work directly with your dog multiple times each week, then meet with you for bi-weekly transfer sessions. Together we build everyday skills that help interactions feel easier, calmer, and more successful, and we create a clear plan so you can maintain progress after the program ends.

Walk & Train
Structured training walks that blend skill practice with enrichment. I support your dog in practicing comfortable, cooperative leash walking and attention during real-world experiences, then share simple updates so you know what we practiced and how to keep things consistent.

Group Classes
Fun, practical classes that teach real-life skills while supporting your dog’s emotional well-being. With small class sizes, clear training steps, and individualized coaching, you and your dog learn together in a supportive environment that builds confidence, connection, and everyday teamwork.

Behavior Support
One-on-one sessions focused on your dog’s unique needs and your real-life goals. We work together to build practical skills, strengthen communication, and support your dog’s emotional well-being. Private Coaching is also a good fit for families navigating more complex behavior concerns that require individualized guidance.
