About
I provide private, in-home dog training and behavioral modification services. My specialty is training dogs with serious issues such as aggression and separation anxiety. I train all dogs to respond to all commands on a reliable, consistent basis, using reward-based methods. Training both ends of the leash ensures success for the dog and the family. My training protocol is easy, effective, and result-oriented. My clients have made a life-long commitment to their dogs, and Raise the Bar is helping them keep that promise more easily than ever before with my all-inclusive, commitment-based approach to training. I call it Trainer on Retainer. This means that, unlike other training programs, you have your own personal dog expert available every step of the way, throughout your dog’s life. $1375 - All-inclusive training and lifetime support for aggressive dogs, dogs with extreme behavior issues, and/or multi dog households. Aged four months and older. Includes special handling and training designed to address special needs, such as aggression and fear biting. $575 - Puppy Training! 4 one hour in-home sessions. Be proactive versus reactive with your new puppy. Get started on the right foot with my in-home puppy training program. I will cover housebreaking, crate training, leash walking, nipping, jumping, basic commands and more. If you want/need additional training you may upgrade to the Trainer on Retainer package and this fee will be applied.

Cheryl is a gifted professional who is guiding us to train our puppy to be a socially good dog, before he learns the bad behaviors, we mere humans, inadvertently teach our dogs. Cheryl's expertise also teaches and trains us humans and our respective dog to break bad behaviors. Lovely personality.

Cheryl made it possible for me to set clear goals with my dog, practice with her and then independently and also continue to work out any challenges and share ideas... She makes the training work with you and your dog!

We have two puppies. The oldest puppy has a problem with guarding. It had gotten so bad that we feared for the safety of our youngest puppy. Wish we had contacted this trainer earlier as she has made a huge difference. Our older puppy has improved dramatically. He is a much happier puppy now than he was before we started the training. We could not have achieved this remarkable progress without this training. Would highly recommend this trainer to anyone, but especially to an owner with a dog has guarding problems.
