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

Andrea and her husband John go above and beyond to take care of our dog, a shy rescue who needed help to open up. Great value for our money. Our pup is tired out from having so much fun with her doggy friends during her walks and greets us calmly when we get home. She's also now better about welcoming strangers to pet her. Highly recommend!

We have been having VIP walk our pup for over a year now and they are great! Always on time and always walk our dog longer than normal! They leave the cutest notes too!

Andrea is hands-down the BEST trainer Ive ever met. She picks up on the most subtle cues of a dogs body language and behavior, points it out, and explains it clearly. She not only trains your dogshe trains YOU on how to train your dog. She is adaptable to what each individual dog needs, and creative and flexible in her approach. I have seen tremendous progress in my reactive dog since working with her. Its obvious that she not only loves dogsshe has an astounding depth of understanding of canine behavior, and how to shape it.If you are looking for a dogtrainer, I recommend her with the highest enthusiasm!
