I am available for in home visits to your home, my home or boarding with or without training. I will also be respectful of both you and your dog.

It's easy to feel overwhelmed by all of the training advice available today. If you are looking for one expert source, you can feel confident that my advice will be effective, logical and kind. My advice comes only after observing your pet in your own home to see just what triggers it’s behaviors. All too often I hear dog parents, who have taken their dogs to a class say that the dog does great in

class, but when I get it home it goes right back to misbehaving. You will feel confident of the results and you and your pet will be happier and more like a part of the family. I will save you and your family time, confusion and frustration. At the center of my practice is positive reinforcement, which my experience has shown, produces not just the best results in training but also secures and strengthens the bond between people and their dogs. The central strategies of positive reinforcement are simple:
Present your dog with something pleasant or rewarding immediately following behavior you wish to encourage. Ignore the inappropriate behavior and redirect and teach the appropriate behavior. Eventually inappropriate behavior disappears as your dog realizes he can more easily get your attention and other stimulating rewards with positive behaviors. This isn't difficult stuff, if you know how to teach it. What happens when your puppy whines in the crate . . . should you let her out? Does nipping mean you have an aggressive dog? Why doesn't your dog come when you call it? How do you stop a puppy from jumping? How can you possibly get a dog's attention when there is another dog around? Helping you answer questions like these and more is where I come in. I'm confident I can help your dog learn certain behaviors he or she might be having trouble with, and I'm equally confident that I can help your dog learn to leave behind certain other behaviors, such as jumping on your guests. I focus on humanely teaching and motivating dogs in a way that is fun for both human and dog. I can help isolate specific strategies that work and explain them in such a way that makes sense. Motivating a dog to do behaviors on cue is not easy, per se, but I can show you how to do it!

Meet the Xolo family! These pups are not only adorable but also one of the world's oldest dog breeds, hailing from Mexico. Xolos were revered by Native Americans as guardians of the spirit world, protectors from harm, and companions on difficult journeys.

Ugh -- a flawed dog training business model, sh*tty clients that drain you, industry drama, not getting the proper mental and physical rest, cash flow issues that keep you up at night, and the purgatory of doing it over and over again.

Our fellow dog-training unicorns, the dog owners need you, the dogs need you, and the industry's future needs you.

Louie needs a new home.

(I am attempting to help my client re-home their dog. Contact me and I will get you in contact with them. I have only seen the dog one time and the following was written by the client.)

Louie is sweet and adjusted to our home easily. We enjoy him in our home. He obeys “sit”, “stay”, and will wait for the “ok” to take a treat. He's ok on the lead. He is good with caregivers.

Louie is 3 1/2 yrs old Shih Poo mix & weighs 26 lbs.

We are his third home and we don’t know anything about his history. We suspect that he may have not been treated well.

He sometimes reacts aggressively when passing him to go into another room, primarily when he is startled. He does settle quickly. He also is reactive when we have family gatherings. He feels threatened with more people and the added activity.

We are putting him up for adoption because our family gathers frequently and is growing. We now have an eight month old grandson.

Louie is very devoted and obedient for me. But because of my current obligations I do not have the time and knowledge to properly train him.

He deserves an owner with the time and skills to train him and make him feel safe in his environment.
