dialed-in training for real-world behavior

Welcome!


 

private sessions

clear. focused. effective.

For those seeking a personalized approach to dog training, our private one-on-one lessons offer focused attention tailored to your goals and your dog’s unique personality. Whether working through specific behavioral challenges, refining advanced skills, or preparing your pup for service work, these sessions provide the flexibility and depth needed to make real progress. With guidance that adapts to your pace and priorities, you'll build a strong foundation of trust, communication, and confidence — one session at a time. Regular sessions generally last 45 min to an hour. For private sessions we usually start by coming to you in your home and the we alter locations based on the individual needs of the dog and training goals. All dogs will be required to undergo a formal assessment before we start training. Feel free to call us with any questions or to set up an appointment for assessment.

Personalization

not a one-size-fits-all program

We specialize in creating custom training programs to meet the individualized needs of YOUR dog. We do everything from basic obedience to behavioral modification for the most problematic behaviors, including anxiety, biting, aggression and resource guarding. We start with a formal assessment where I meet you and your canine, usually in your home as that is where the dog is comfortable and most likely to be themselves. Based on what I observe and our discussion, we come up with a training game plan together. Feel free to call us with any questions or to set up an appointment for assessment.
