I help you, the busy professional with an active dog, achieve harmony and balance in your life with structure and ease. If you're here, it's probably because you feel you need some help with your dog. If so, welcome! You're in the right place. You've found a judgement-free zone where the goal is to help you achieve the life you want with your dog. If you're like many of my clients, you have a rath
er excitable dog that can be over the top. You've likely tried a whole stack of 'tricks' and they haven't worked or they've had limited success. Don't worry - no problem is insurmountable. That's what I'm here for - to help you and teach you, as you and your dog navigate this crazy life. I'm on your team. I'd say I specialize in the very high drive, working dogs - those that others might call 'a lotta dog'. If you don't know those terms, that's ok too. Got a crazy dog? Great! I currently live with 3 wonderful dogs; a German Shepherd and 2 Malinois (Belgian shepherds). They were bred to work but for the most part, but they are our companion dogs and live in our home with us. They can be crazy....but they also need to be calm. Living with them and teaching them both work and life skills has given me valuable insight and problem solving skills. And it is these lessons that help me help you. I started training dogs almost 15 years ago now. But there's nothing quite like living with dogs in our chaotic world - walking the walk so to speak. I'm what might be considered a positive reinforcement based trainer. I use the kindest and least aversive methods that I can to help you and your dog. And I won't inflict pain on them, or ask you to do so, ever. My methods don't necessarily get you a quick fix, but they get you lasting results, and a stronger bond with your dog in the process. And you still have that, even when the leash comes off.
