So proud of this team! Maple and dad have been working hard on Maple’s confidence and feelings on leash. Pictured here is Maple at our second session together working with one of our stuffed dogs.

Today we were able to walk around a park full of people and loud noises with little reaction. They still have a ways to go but we have seen huge improvements in the last few months! Keep up the good work Maple and family!

Our Story

I have been working with dogs for over 6 years and have 3 dogs of my own. After working in dog rescue and animal advocacy for many years, I decided to go to school to become a professional dog trainer. In May 2014, I graduated from Animal Behavior College as a Certified Positive Reinforcement Dog Trainer, ABCDT. I am Supporting Member of the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC), a Professional Member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT), and stay current and up-to-date in my field by attending seminars and workshops regularly.

I love dogs of all ages, breeds, and size. I am excited to offer group and private dog training sessions in the Syracuse and surrounding areas. So why choose positive reinforcement dog training?

Positive reinforcement dog training focuses on building a positive relationship between you and your dog. It is a relationship built on trust, not on fear. Your dog will build self-confidence and self-control, while you will become a positive and confident leader. Group classes are offered at the following locations- R & B Romp and Play Doggie Daycare 6780 Manlius Center Rd, East Syracuse
