I'd love to train your dog!
But even more, I'd love to coach you and your dog as a team. The best kind of dog training dramatically enhances the dog-human relationship, and I want that for YOU and your dog, not ME and your dog!
My real goal is to do such a great job helping you to understand your dog that I make myself obsolete. The more I guide you in observing your dog's behavior and figuring out what's driving it, the more easily solutions will begin to occur to you on your own. And that's when conflict between the two of you will drop away, everybody's needs will be met, and . . . you won't need me anymore!
Until then, though, please reach out!
I'd be delighted to help.
Want a great dog?
Let's start
by building trust
and understanding.
