Behavior Modification & Personalized Training

Every behavior is communication— Our job is to learn the language

Training

Build a strong, joyful bond with your dog through positive reinforcement training designed just for you.

Whether you're starting with a new puppy, brushing up on manners, or unlocking fun new tricks, I offer personalized one-on-one coaching tailored to your dog’s age, personality, and goals. From the basics—like polite leash walking and reliable recall—to enrichment and confidence-building, we work at your dog’s pace using only force-free, reward-based methods.

Training services include:

  • Puppy foundations: socialization, crate training, potty training, handling, and more

  • Basic obedience: sit, down, stay, recall, leash skills, polite greetings, and more

  • Tricks and enrichment: from fun party tricks to brain games and confidence builders

  • Service dog team training: public access and task training (In-person or Virtual)

Behavior Modification

Behavior concerns can feel overwhelming, but they’re also opportunities to better understand your dog. Together, we’ll identify the root causes behind the behavior and create a step-by-step plan that helps your dog feel safer, calmer, and more confident. My approach is rooted in science and compassion, using only force-free, reward-based methods tailored to your dog’s unique needs.

Every program is personalized to strengthen communication and trust between you and your dog while providing you with practical tools to manage real-life situations. Whether you’re navigating reactivity on walks, helping your dog settle at home, or supporting them through fear and anxiety, we’ll move at a pace that keeps your dog successful and supported.

Behavior services include:

  • Reactivity: leash frustration, barking, or lunging toward dogs or people

  • Fear and anxiety: sensitivity to new environments, handling, or separation

  • Resource guarding: protecting food, toys, or spaces
