What to expect?
You can expect to receive these services during our one-on-one private sessions based on the needs of you and your dog.
Fun & Enrichment
I love creating joyful, stimulating experiences that align with the dog’s unique personality and needs, encouraging behavior diversity. Using the L.E.G.S. framework, I’ll craft a customized plan that fits seamlessly into your schedule, ensuring your dog stays mentally and physically engaged.
Whether it’s puzzle games, scent work, or fun tricks, I focus on activities that nurture your dog’s natural instincts and keep them happy and healthy.
Let’s turn your dog’s downtime into tail-wagging fun!
Relationship Building
Using Suzanne Clothier's Relationship Assessment Tool (RAT), I evaluate the dynamic between you and your dog to identify interaction patterns, strengths, and areas for improvement. I’ll create personalized training exercises designed to enhance communication, trust, and overall harmony. This service is perfect for pet parents seeking to deepen their bond with their dogs, improve their understanding of each other, and foster a more balanced and cooperative relationship.
Life Skills
Life Skills training focuses on teaching your dog the essential behaviors they need to thrive in everyday situations. From walking politely on a leash to settling calmly at home or in public, I tailor exercises that fit your dog's unique temperament and lifestyle to help your dog build confidence, impulse control, and social skills, ensuring they are well-mannered and adaptable in various environments. This training enhances your dog’s ability to navigate the world confidently, making life together smoother and more enjoyable.
Trick Training
Trick Training is a fun and engaging way to challenge your dog’s mind while strengthening your bond. From simple tricks like 'shake' and 'spin' to advanced moves like 'roll over' or retrieving specific objects, I customize a trick training plan based on your dog's abilities and your goals. I make learning enjoyable for your dog, boosting their confidence and mental stimulation. Trick training not only impresses your friends but also improves your dog's focus, communication, and overall obedience in a fun and creative way!
Cooperative Care
Cooperative Care training focuses on teaching your dog to actively participate in their own care, such as grooming, vet visits, and handling procedures, without fear or stress. Through positive reinforcement and clear communication, I help your dog build confidence and trust during these essential activities. This training fosters a cooperative, willing partnership between you and your dog, making everyday care tasks smoother and more enjoyable for both of you. This is perfect for dogs needing support with anxiety or discomfort during routine care.
Behavior Modification
My behavior modification sessions use science-based, compassionate techniques to address challenging behaviors while respecting your dog's needs and your goals. We identify root causes, create customized plans, and empower you with tools tailored to your lifestyle and your dog’s unique temperament, fostering understanding, patience, and a stronger bond.
