Our Pet Training Programs
Board and Train
Our board and trains are our most popular programs. It gives us the opportunity to work with your dog one-on-one for 2 to 4 weeks. During this time we accomplish a lot with your dog and the change is noticeable! Afterwards, I train with you to teach effective communication, in depth lessons on classical and operant conditioning, and how to troubleshoot. I don’t want to just fix your dog, I want to empower you to build a strong long lasting relationship with you and your dog.
Puppy Training
Over the years of developing and training working dogs for the Department of Defense, Law Enforcement Agencies, and FEMA dogs. One thing has become apparent. The first couple months of your puppies life is by far the MOST important time of their entire life. When exposed and trained properly, your new puppy will have confidence, stability, and the behavior to be a well rounded family companion. Let me help guide you through this important formative stage of your new puppy.
Behavior Modification
I understand how difficult it can be to navigate a dog with aggression or reactivity. It is incredibly frustrating and causes undue stress for you and your family. I have spent many years learning effective training techniques to address these issues, spending time with neuroscientists who specialize in behavior modification, as well as industry experts, and training several hundred dogs. I feel I have gained invaluable skills that will undoubtedly help you and your dog.
