My Dog Training Philosophy
As a professional trainer and certified canine behavior consultant with over 25 years experience, I embrace more than issue resolution or good behavior. I will point out the cause of of a pet’s behavior and provide a treatment plan. Even if your family is growing or changing, my program, active participation and motivation, will provide the tools you need to create or restore a long term human / canine bond.My coaching goes beyond basic commands and will help you understand why dogs do things like run away, bark at every noise, jump on guests, steal food off your counter, fight with the dog next door, or growl at kids. You will be given the tools and skills to communicate with your dog in a way he/she can comprehend. I’m not merely a dog trainer, I am your guide, mentor, teacher and coach.
My methods are based in the science of learning theory which applies to all animals (including people) and results are obtained via primarily positive reinforcement, the same technique used for movie animals, assistance dogs, sea world performers, and gymnasts! With these methods, we can truly educate — not just control — our best friends
After working with me, you will become your dog’s coach, teacher or parent as you guide him/her towards being the family and community member you have always wanted.
