Introduction: I have been a Certified Dog Trainer now for 14 years. My focus is and remains assisting Pet Parents with their Canine Children so that there is a positive relationship between both. I graduated from Animal Behavior College in 2007 and originally did group and individual lessons, but had found individual lessons, in the home of dog and pet parent actually was more effective. Many people have the concept that "Obedience Training" is teaching their pooch how to "behave". While that is partially correct, I am under the firm belief that training is actually fostering the relationship between the dog and their "humans", creating a loving bond where the dog "behaves" because they really are connected and want to "please" their humans. Positive Behavior Modification Techniques are the basis for all training I provide. I strive to strengthen that bond with the ultimate goal of the dog becoming a "Good Canine Citizen". I also strive to keep costs down for pet parents so they can use the money for their dog's care not me so I do not require a minimum number of lessons and I provide all training materials and written lesson plans as part of the package. About 95% of my clients report results in one lesson (approx. 2 hours) . My lessons are interactive, fun for both human and dog.

Sandy is amazing. She really helps you become the one who has the tools to train your dogs. Both my puppies are paying attention to me a lot better, they can sit. Stay is coming. And most of all it doesn’t feel like a job to train them it feels like you’re just bonding and having fun with your fur babies!

Sandy is the best! She helped train us and our 6 month old puppy. It has only been a couple days and he is already showing a night and day difference. Best money you can spend to really know your what your breed of dog needs. He is now so proud of doing his focus time! I can't thank or recommend Sandy more.

My dog trainer was excellent. She built on some things I already knew and taught me new ways to train my puppy. She was well worth her fee.

Sandy was knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and well-prepared. Both my dog and I gave her five stars. After the session with her, I finally felt hopeful again about my dog's training.
