Prudence
I was thrilled to find Max to help us train Watson correctly, from the start. He guided us every step of the way, offering options for training the skills we wanted Watson to have, helping us fully understand the "why" behind each method, and making himself available for answering questions when we had them. He helped us form a really beautiful bond of trust with our dog, and he is now incredibly friendly, loyal, and well-behaved. He's also happy and healthy! I give Max a good deal of credit for this, because he really understands canines -- their needs, their instincts, and their true desires. He helped us understand them too, and that is a benefit we'll treasure forever. I hope to do more advanced training with Watson to help him help others, and I'll be calling on Max for that too. One more thing: I have a friend who is not at all a fan of dogs EXCEPT for Watson, and that's because, she says, "Watson is both friendly and respectful, and that hasn't been my experience with other dogs." We attribute that to Max. Thank you, Max!! More...
What do you love most about your job?
I love watching dogs make progress toward and meet our behavior goals. It is so rewarding to see the excitement and enthusiasm of the owners who have struggled for so long, and are now seeing results through working with me.
Why should our clients choose you?
I utilize positive reinforcement techniques to train your dog in the most humane and effective way. I never use aversive or intimidating techniques.
Obedience Training
Whether you have a brand new puppy, or an older dog, if you could benefit from obedience training, you're in the right place. I'll help you teach your dog to sit, lie down, stay, come, and heel on command using positive reinforcement.
New Puppy Foundations
Raising a puppy is no small feat. If you recently got a young dog and are feeling overwhelmed, don't worry. I've been there! But now, I'm here to help. I'll walk you through every step of the way: puppy biting/mouthing, potty training, crate training, basic obedience, household manners, walking on leash, and more. Most importantly I'll help you build an unbreakable bond with your puppy to help you see how rewarding all the hard work and late nights are.
