Convenient. Effective. Personalized.
Whether you’ve just brought home a new puppy or are navigating challenges with an older dog, private virtual training offers a supportive, flexible, and highly effective solution. Every session is personalized to help you build trust, communicate clearly, and meet your dog’s individual needs.
I’ll guide you every step of the way—coaching you through practical skills, providing behavior support, and helping you foster a compassionate relationship rooted in trust and understanding.
What to Expect
Our work together begins by looking at your dog through a holistic approach that considers all of the factors that affect your dog. Your plan will reflect your dog’s breed, temperament, and history, and is always based in reward-based, low-stress methods. Methods that are not based in creating fear and pain.

Behavior Modification
Behavior change takes time and consistency. These cases often require more than 3 sessions.

Examples:
- Reactivity (barking/lunging at people or dogs)
- Stranger danger, growling, or cowering
- Resource guarding (food, toys, people)
- Leash reactivity
- Handling sensitivity
- Conflict between household dogs
- Separation-related behaviors
- Fear of new people, environments, or objects
- Fence fighting
