A tailored plan for your unique dog

Whether you have a new puppy, a high-energy adolescent, or a new rescue dog, my training is all about using simple, fun games to build real-world skills. We’ll work on everything from pulling on the lead and jumping up to more complex issues like reactivity or anxiety, all at your dog’s pace.
