You’re busy juggling lots of demands, and life with your dog isn’t exactly how you expected it to be. Behavior issues are confusing, frustrating, embarrassing, and can make enjoying your time with your dog difficult.

Get personalized support now
Struggling with behavior problems? If your dog is jumping on you and all your visitors, pulling on the leash, chewing your shoes, or showing other undesirable behaviors, you’ve come to the right place. Maybe you feel like you’ve tried everything to get Fido to stop barking and you now are avoiding eye contact with your neighbors out of embarrassment. Relief is on the way!
We will determine why troublesome behaviors are occurring and address the root cause with customized behavior plans. Let’s get rid of the stress and worry caused by these issues and get you back to what you need - enjoying time with your dog again. Most of my personal dogs have needed intentional behavior modification and veterinary behaviorist support, so I deeply understand life with behavioral challenges.
Build your bond
Ready to work on some basic behaviors to make life with your dog more harmonious? If you find yourself stuck in your training, wanting your dog to more calmly greet guests or reliably come back when called, we’re here to help.
Maybe you’ve already worked on the those and other basics and are ready to learn new behaviors to use as you explore the world together, making walks and hikes more interactive and fun for you both.
We can build foundational or more advanced behaviors together all while giving your dog choice and freedom and incorporating pattern games for fun, building a stronger bond and meeting everyone’s needs.
Let’s talk more about your goals and build an individualized plan to get you there.
Set your new puppy up for success
You’re busy managing a household and work. A new puppy is the perfect addition - until the chewing, biting, house soiling, and other puppy behaviors start. Proactive management and training are the keys to growing a puppy into a wonderful adult dog.
You want your puppy to grow into a lovely family dog - sweet with the kids, along for the ride for camping adventures and city trips, calm and a joy to be around at home. But it’s hard to envision that with an agent of chaos chewing through your leather shoes, nipping at heels, or pottying on the floor.
That’s where I come in. I’m a puppy expert, a puppy parent, and a mom to a young kid. Have people told you “puppies and kids are a terrible mix”? I’ve been there. And I’m here to bring you relief and the tools you need to safely and easily grow your puppy into a happy, healthy family dog.
