How I train dogs (and humans)- my Training approach
Modern Dog Training for Dogs and Humans
I offer modern dog training rooted in science and built on operant conditioning & positive reinforcement. My approach is focused on helping people build a stronger, two-way relationship with their dogs—one based on trust, communication, and fun. Dogs are easy to train - humans not so much LOL. That’s why I focus on clear communication - using language and examples you will understand. Most of all, I make training FAST and FUN!
✅ All Positive, Force-Free Methods
No prong collars, no yelling, no intimidation—just science-backed positive reinforcement.
✅ You’ll Learn How Dogs Think
I teach you why your dog behaves the way they do, and how to change behavior for good.
✅ Clear Communication
You'll learn a simple, consistent training language that your dog actually understands.
✅ Realistic Daily Practice
Just 5–10 minutes a day of focused training creates long-term results and a better bond.
✅ No Quick Fixes—Real, Lasting Change
We build strong foundation behaviors that stick—no gimmicks or outdated techniques.
✅ Fast, Fun, and Focused Sessions
You’ll see results quickly while keeping it fun for both you and your dog.
✅ Rock-Solid Self-Control Skills
We work on impulse control and calmness—great for leash manners, reactivity, and guests.
✅ Rewards That Motivate Your Dog
I use food, toys, and praise to reinforce great choices and keep dogs eager to learn.
✅ You and Your Dog = A Team
Training is about connection, trust, and teamwork—not dominance.
✅ Certified & Ethical
I follow the CCPDT Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice.
✅ Professional, Thorough, and Results-Driven
You’ll always work with me—not an assistant or hourly employee.
✅ Focus on Eye Contact & Engagement
Teaching your dog to want to work with you—because you’re the most rewarding thing around.
Dogs have the intelligence of a 3-year-old child. They're impulsive, curious, and playful—and often frustrated by a world that doesn't make sense to them. Many breeds were developed to work jobs that no longer exist, so they invent their own: digging trenches, shredding furniture, or running perimeter patrols.
That’s why my training focuses on impulse control and structured play - lots of mental work. We teach dogs what to do instead of constantly punishing what not to do. Want better manners? A calmer walk? A future in dog sports? It all starts with communication, structure, and games that teach real-life skills.
Whether you want better behavior or just to do more with your dog, we’ll build a program that fits your lifestyle—and brings out the best in your dog.
