Private In-Home Dog or Puppy Training in Omaha

Learn from Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT) and Experienced Dog Agility Trainer and Competitor

Dog training isn’t easy. It takes patience, communication, and trust. One of the toughest tests of a trainer’s skill is dog agility: guiding a dog through 20+ obstacles in the correct order, with no mistakes, running for your life at full speed. It requires precise verbal cues (my border collie Dakota understands over 30 verbal agility cues) while managing distractions, maintaining focus, and keeping your dog connected to you the whole time. It’s a challenge... and that’s what makes it so rewarding. In agility, success comes from the strong connection, communication, and mutual trust between you and your dog.

I’m here to help you learn how to connect & communicate with your dog at home or out and about. I will help you solve behavior issues or prevent them from happening and create a partnership built on trust and relationship. My experience competing and training in dog agility means I bring energy, creativity, and science-backed training techniques to everyday household training challenges. Training with me is fun—for you and your dog. Whether you're raising a new puppy, fixing leash pulling, or dreaming of agility trials, it starts with positive reinforcement to create focus and engagement.‍ ‍
