Choose The Support That's Right For You
Together we work on hands-on guidance in your home, working through real-life challenges where they actually happen.
You'll learn:
• Why the behavior is happening
• What to do instead
• How to prevent problems before they start
• How to build habits that last
You can make huge progress in a few short weeks. It’s THE fastest, easiest way to a well-behaved pup. Day Training accelerates progress by allowing me to work directly with your puppy between coaching sessions. I do focused sessions with your pup to build reliable, specific behaviors.
This is ideal for busy professionals and families who value convenience, personalized support, and faster progress.
Not all puppy play is good play. I provide structured socialization experiences designed to build confidence, communication skills, and emotional resilience.
Your puppy learns: Appropriate play, how to settle around other dogs, better social skills and confidence in new situations.
Pekoe is my calm neutral Mini Aussie. He is available to help puppies learn from a friendly well behaved adult dog.

We can work on... biting, jumping, pulling, socializing, house training, barking, loose lead, recall or any manners you want to improve on.
After the first session, we can decide together what combination of privates, online and/or day training will achieve your goals.

Start With A Consultation
Every puppy and family is different. Your first consultation gives us time to discuss your goals, evaluate current challenges, create a customized training plan. Together we can decide whether private training, day training, online training or a combination is best for you and your puppy.
Play Dates
We schedule private puppy play dates that are safe & structured. We pair with the right size and personality. You will learn about body language and engagement in-between appropriate playtime. This creates a dog that can settle and so much more.

About my teaching method:
I’m a CPDT-KA certified trainer & dog lifestyle expert with over 20 years experience with dogs ( and horses ). You’ll love my unique training process, just as much as the results.
Puppies need specific nurturing & care. They learn and grow very fast. I use positive reinforcement methods that are innovative, motivational, practical & science based.
You can have a well-trained dog that can go anywhere with you! You will effectively end unwanted behavior while gently reinforcing good obedience.
We start with in-home sessions (with or with out you present, depending on your schedule & budget). You will advance to real-world experiences. We train at stores, restaurants, on hikes and more! Together we can achieve your goals:
