Question and answer

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Ask questions and get references!

You will get lots of conflicting information from the Internet and people that you ask for advice. Do your research, but nothing beats talking to the trainer to see if your philosophies match. The science of dog training has evolved, but there are still a lot of outdated methods being used.

Ask for references and call them to find out how the trainer performed and how he/she interacted with their family and their dog(s).

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. I take pride in providing my clients with personalized attention and professional instruction that is based on the most up-to-date knowledge about dog training and behavior. My goal is to help you better understand and teach your dog so he or she can be a valued, lifelong companion.

My training methods are non-force-based, progressive, and very dog friendly. You'll love the simplicity, your dog will love the attention, and you'll both love the results. No more struggling to get your dog's attention and cooperation. You'll be delighted with your dog's progress and will look forward to each lesson.
