About
My name is Yasmin, and I’m a certified Dog Training and Behavior Modification Specialist through Starmark Academy for Professional Dog Trainers.
I help dog owners who are feeling frustrated or overwhelmed with things like pulling on leash, jumping, reactivity, aggression, poor recall, and general lack of manners. My goal is to help you regain more calmness, trust, and control in your everyday life with your dog and finally be proud of your dog.
With over 10 years of hands-on experience, along with advanced training in obedience and behavior work, I bring a balanced and practical approach that focuses on long lasting real-life results—not just obedience in a training setting.
Whether you want a calmer home, better walks, or more confidence taking your dog out in public, my goal is to help you enjoy life with your dog instead of constantly managing behavior.

Yasmin is a true professional! She gave me tools to settle down my 3 rescue dogs. She was always available to provide on the spot instruction by phone call or text.

Amazing results. We did the 6 lesson package with our large anxious dog. He went from dog reactive to live with another dog. Yasmin is super knowledgeable and teached us to communicate effectively with Nikko. A fair amount of practice was needed but it was worth the effort. Nikko actually seems happier, now that he is able to walk calmly outside and hang out with his brother. We are really proud of him. Highly recommended

Yasmin was awesome. Her method of training was excellent and it was very hands on training so we have learned a lot from her. Our dog have been behaving aggressively toward family members so she helped us figure out the problem and how to fix it. Definitely will use here services again if I need it.

Yasmin is awesome! She answered my Thumbtack request within the hour and we were able to book our consultation for a few days later. She is punctual, professional, and keeps to her appointments. We purchased private lessons for our very energetic Pit bull puppy and it was absolutely worth it. Yasmin gave us all of the tools we needed to continue training throughout the week and every lessons just builds on top of the other. My puppy is much calmer and happier, our relationship has really strengthened as well! I would hire her again without hesitation, you should too!

Amazing doesn’t being to describe the positive effects Yasmin’s training has provided between my dog and I. Kennedy was extremely free spirited and rambunctious, and would very loosely take direction or authority. After three weeks under Yasmin’s guide, I can honestly say I’ve seen Kennedy do a complete 180. Her response to direction has increased tenfold and I am beyond impressed. If you are looking for trainer to provide your furry loved one with patience, love, and guidance to increase your bond, then look no further than the program Yasmin provides.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Training is customized based on your dog’s behavior, goals, and the level of support needed, so pricing can vary depending on the program. We focus on creating long-term results rather than quick fixes, and all programs include structured guidance and support throughout the process.
The best way to determine what your dog needs is through a quick phone consultation and in-person evaluation so we can recommend the right training plan for your situation
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We start with a quick phone consultation so I can learn more about your dog, the challenges you’re dealing with, and what goals you want to achieve. Whether you’re struggling with reactivity, anxiety, leash pulling, poor manners, or chaos at home, the first step is understanding what’s really driving the behavior.
If it sounds like a good fit, we’ll schedule an in-person evaluation where I assess your dog’s behavior, temperament, environment, and connection to you. From there, I’ll walk you through a customized training plan designed around your dog, your lifestyle, and the results you want to achieve.
Once we identify the best path forward, we’ll discuss the training options that best fit your goals, schedule, and level of support needed.
