Dog Training

From the first day I brough Bambi home from the shelter, she was not a fun dog to walk. She would go crazy if we saw another dog while walking, so I began to avoid other dogs whenever possible. But after five years of that and a few failed attempts with other trainers (who labeled her with "dog aggression" or "barrier frustration"), one day she got off leash and sent a dog to the emergency vet. That's when we met Kris. Despite her history, Kris knew just within minutes after meeting Bambi that it was a socialization issue, not aggression. After just a few hours with Kris, Bambi had made great strides, and after just a few days she was playing at the off leash dog park! Kris understands dogs - from pack dynamics to individual temperament - unlike any trainer I've worked with. He has a calm, confident, and positive training style that relies on the reinforcement of good behavior instead of treats or punishment. He has transformed Bambi into a differnt dog, and I know that there isn't a dog (or owner) out there he can't help.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer a free video-chat consultation for new clients, as well as background questionnaires. If you refer a friend, and they buy a session, I will give you one session for free!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I am available to answer any questions or concerns before our first session. During the first session, I will gather background information about you, your dog, and its behavior. After I have collected the necessary information, I will provide information about canine psychology, how dogs learn, and the training process. I will coach you through a few exercises and provide homework for you and your dog to work on until our next session.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes. I am an AKC Instructor, Evaluator, and Judge as well as an APDT Instructor and Evaluator. I have experience with a variety of working dogs, sports, competitions, and behavior modification.
