BAD DOGS WANTED:

Do you think you have a bad dog and are in need of dog training?
Actually, I believe dogs don’t behave badly. I believe they are having a hard time.

But, it’s common (and normal!) to get frustrated, sad, desperate, and mad when your dog’s behavior is out of control. It’s not hopeless- there is a lot you can do to help communicate with your dog better, I promise!

~ Is your puppy’s biting causing injury and stress?
~ Is your puppy using your living room as her toilet?
~ Is your dog growling, snapping at, or biting people?
~ Is your dog shy or fearful of strangers?
~ Is your dog barking or lunging at other dogs or people on walks?
~ Is your puppy’s Witching Hour making you crazy?
~ Is your dog’s diet contributing to his behavior issues?

Let me help.

I am a people trainer AND a dog trainer, and I take pride in what I do for your family. Most people are in crisis when they call me, and I do my best to provide empathetic, kind, and comprehensive help. I do not use or condone the use of shock, prong, or choke collars and I will never ask you to hurt your dog. Training should be fun and focus on building your bond and I will teach you how to do that effectively and without force. Here are Google Reviews from past clients whom I’ve had the privilege of working with.
