What do you love most about your job?
Getting to hang out with amazing dogs and their committed owners, of course!
Why should our clients choose you?
I use force-free, reward-based training methods that set dogs up for success and help clients with a variety of training needs, including new puppy support and basic manners training, as well as those dealing with more challenging issues, such as fear and aggression. I believe effective training builds communication between dogs and their humans, and I aim to keep dogs safe in their world and well-integrated in their homes. I don't try to create Stepford (“perfect”) dogs, but happy and safe companions. I do not believe in using choke or prong collars, e-collars, or other common training tools that create fear or pain. I do believe in front-attach harnesses, flat collars, patience, and humor.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.

What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I am currently holding sessions outdoors or via Zoom unless there is a training-related reason to meet indoors. Masks are required regardless of vaccination status—both indoors and outdoors.
