Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I use balanced training based on classical and operant conditioning principles to train dogs effectively, quickly, and reliably! By utilizing both principles, the final result is a dog that is focused, confident, obedient, and dependable. Training happens in the comfort of your home, with no crowded classes or distracting environments to detract from your pup's learning process! Training is structured by your individual needs, and is not timed by the hour. Some of the things we can cover in training: - Sit - Down - Stay - Place command - Walking on a leash (no pulling!) - Reliable recall - Potty training & puppies - Food aggression - Dog aggression - Human aggression - Crating - Service dogs Lets make your pup the best dog he can be! Working with dogs and their owners is very rewarding for me, and dog training is my passion! I love seeing the confidence of both owners and pups grow with each session, their bonds strengthen, and I always feel so proud to see all the hard work pay off! Some of my most rewarding moments have been: - Establishing solid foundations for several puppies that helped them grow into obedient and confident dogs. - Helping a child with special needs grow a stronger bond with his dog. - Winning over the trust of a very human-aggressive dogs, and training them to be safer pets. - Foundations for service dog training that are invaluable for a reliable public access animal.

Yana was great at teaching me how to train my German Shepherd puppy. The lessons seemed appropriately structured, some were over an hour, some were 40 minutes. She always stayed as long as it took, and never minded that me and my girlfriend always had a million questions! It is obvious she loves working with dogs, and I recommend her very much!

Yana is very knowledgeable and passionate about her work. I recommend her to all my friends. I got a rottweiler, and he is my first big dog, and Yana helped me train him. Now I am much more confident with my big pupper. Yana was very flexible with scheduling since my schedule is different every week. Thank you

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    Pricing is per session, not by hour, so we don't have to feel rushed if the session runs long. Doing it right is much more important than doing it fast! My current sale is 10% off if you buy 10 sessions.
