Thank you for considering me to guide you & your dog to meet your goals.

I am a modern dog trainer, I believe in positive reinforcement but I also believe there is nothing wrong with teaching a dog what “no” means & holding them accountable. In order to be successful you must know when you are doing well & when you are wrong, or in need of improvement. I want to lead the way for you to be a great leader utilizing all 4 quadrants for a balanced approach.

I prefer dogs to be existentially fed & clicker trained because it is the most effective way to establish relationship, clarity & a good training protocol. This does not mean you need to spend all day feeding & working with your dog(s). It simply means we will use their daily food ration to work with them rather than cookies on top of feeding them out of a bowl. Dogs that are free fed or fed twice daily out of a bowl are missing out on a great opportunity to work for something & feel fulfillment. However I want you to be comfortable with anything we are doing with your dog so I am always open to conversation & working together to form a lifestyle that is fair & doable for both you & your dog.

Age is not relevant to the training style, dogs are great at adjusting & most flourish once we start my protocols with feeding & clicker conditioning.However if you have an older dog I do want to make sure they are comfortable & physically capable of the things we are asking them to do. Same for any dog but even more for my seniors <3 .
