My Promise to the dogs... Do no harm and develop trust!

My Promise to the humans... Provide kind, compassionate, and professional consultation, without making false promises and impossible guarantees!








My Approach
My do no harm approach leads to dogs that work happily with their owners because they choose to, rather than out of the fear of what will happen if they don't.  My expertise gives me vast understanding of canine learning and state-of-the-art training methods which allow me to bring the newest and most innovative, reward-based techniques which meet the needs of the individual clients and their dog. I take pride in never using aversive methods or equipment to reach client goals. 

My goal is to improve the relationship between people and their dogs.  The way I achieve that goal varies based on my clients needs and goals. I work with each client to develop an individual plan to work toward their goals.  Each plan is tailored to ensure that all involved...

1. Enjoy the experience!
2. Understand the approach!
3. Gain the knowledge to effectively practice!
4. Can comfortably commit to the recommended approach!
5. Get the on-going support to work toward success!

I do not believe in "life-long training guarantees." Rather than charging an exorbitant fee up front I charge an hourly rate - By charging hourly, my clients only pay for the services that they need when they need them. 

I pride myself in developing lasting professional relationships with my clients and offer a high-quality, affordable service.  It is simple... no hype, just help!
