About

Every dog is an individual, and their training should be too. With over 20 years in business and one-on-one attention, I create fully customized training plans based on what works best for you and your dog. I don’t rely on just one method—instead, I pull from a variety of approaches to fit your dog’s unique personality and your goals. Private training takes place in the comfort of your home, where your dog feels safe and can learn fastest. As a professional dog trainer, I can also support your dog walking and pet sitting needs, so your dog enjoys consistent handling and care from someone who understands their training. Contact me today to schedule your free phone consultation and start building better behavior and a stronger bond with your dog.

Fabulous experience. Andrea really knows what she is doing and solved the behavioral problems I was having with my dog. She uses positive reinforcement and taught me how to change my dog’s behavior. It’s made a huge difference in my life.

Andrea is awesome, she helped me with understanding how to work with my dog, I learned so much from her. And now I have my dog for almost a year and my rescued dog grew into a confident and happy young lady thanks to her advice. Btw, my dog is a husky mix (a lot of independence and nonsense to conquer
