Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: My passion is to help owners and their pups develop a lifelong bond by showing them how to communicate effectively with each other. My training method is positive reinforcement using rewards so your pup understands when he does what you ask for, he gets rewarded with a treat, praise, or his favorite toy. Dogs repeat behaviors that work for them so this method is effective, quick, and fun! My teaching experience ranges from the puppy to senior age, many years of rescue work, and a passion and enthusiasm to help owners and pups build that special relationship helps me stand out in this industry. I love teaching puppy and adolescent group classes as well as working individually w/ owners and their pup in their own environment. Every situation is unique so when I recommend solutions and we see the "light bulb go on", we know that the pup understands what we're asking and it's so exciting! That's when the fun really begins because now the pup is engaged and wants to work as a team. From bringing home a new puppy, to introducing a new rescue to the family, each situation brings me joy because I know happy owners and happy dogs does equal a happy life together and I'm helping that happen!

We're first time pet owners and Barb was able to work wonders with out rescue, Annie. After our first week of training Annie was more attentive, focused and calm around other dogs. She's made remarkable progress after each session. We cannot recommend Barb highly enough! - Cory and Bev Dransfeldt

Barb is great to work with. She is so very knowledgeable about training. Since she's great with people too, she teaches you how to communicate and get your pets to have good manners. Other trainers I used made it so much work. With Barb you can incorporate a lot of the training in your daily living. Others also made me feel so mean and strict. Now I use positive and what works for me and my dog's temperament. I highly recommend Barb. You'll have a wonderful companion for life. You'll both be happier!

Barb did an amazing job with my 4 month old german Shepard puppy! She was very enthusiastic and eager to help! She was confident with her knowledge and that made me feel so relieved I found her! I'm excited to continue working with her!

Barb has an amazing way with dogs! My pup normally is very shy and apprehensive but she acted very comfortable with her from the start. We worked on jumping on people & pulling on a walk. I am very happy with the results! I highly recommend Barb for all your dog behavior issues.
