Ready Player Dog

I realized that my area was lacking in this specific resource - offering help to people who have reactive dogs, because that's what I needed for my own reactive dog. I started getting into dog training 12 years ago, but 2 years ago Rza, my Australian Cattle Dog, catapulted me into finding a way to train her humanely, force-free, and in a way that would grow our relationship.

The games-based training approach addresses more significant concepts like proximity, optimism, and tolerance of frustration rather than specific behaviors. For instance, a dog may lunge at the end of its leash for a variety of reasons, so when we conceptually look at it that way, our training approach to the dog is more individualized and based on real-life results rather than handy party tricks.

I do offer virtual services through Google Chat. Virtual training shall consist of the client watching videos of gameplay and then recording videos of themselves playing games with their dogs for feedback and additional instruction.

I am fully vaccinated, boosted, and recently received the newer bivalent COVID-19 vaccine. I offer small group classes held outside, specifically spaced out to welcome reactive dogs.
