About the Training

Training Packages

  • Choose from 3- or 6-lesson packages tailored to your dog’s needs

  • Focus areas include:

    • Basic handling

    • Basic obedience

    • Reactivity training

  • The goal is to build your confidence as a handler and strengthen the bond with your dog

  • My approach is based on the belief that:

    • Every dog wants to understand the world around them

    • To train a dog, you must also learn how to communicate clearly as their handler

  • I’ll help you:

    • Read your dog’s body language

    • Build a relationship based on respect and understanding

    • Create lasting obedience through trust, not fear

Guided Reactivity Walks

  • Offered as one-on-one sessions in real-life settings like parks, trails, or neighborhoods

  • Perfect for dogs who:

    • Struggle with leash reactivity

    • Get overstimulated or distracted in new environments

  • These walks are designed to:

    • Teach you how to handle your dog calmly and confidently in public

    • Reinforce training through exposure to everyday situations

    • Help your dog generalize their skills in a variety of contexts

  • The result:

    • A more relaxed and responsive dog

    • A handler who feels ready to take on the world with their dog by their side

Enrichment Services

Adventure Walks

  • A good walk can be the cure for a hyperactive or destructive dog

  • I offer 30- and 60-minute walks tailored to your dog’s energy level

  • Walks include:

    • Plenty of sniff time and exploration

    • Positive reinforcement for polite leash manners

    • Fresh air and natural settings to keep things exciting

  • When the neighborhood gets stale, we hit the trails!

    • I'm familiar with many natural parks in the 757

    • Off-road options for extra stimulation and variety

Carpetmill Sessions

  • A unique way to burn energy—fast!

  • My custom-built carpetmill works like a treadmill, but is dog-powered and motor-free

    • Dogs move the belt by walking or running forward, safely tethered with a harness

    • Great for high-energy pups who love a challenge

  • Ideal for:

    • Small to medium-sized dogs (current deck is 3’9” long)

    • Dogs needing an energy outlet when walks aren't enough

  • Not recommended for:

    • Senior dogs

    • Dogs recovering from injury or in need of physical therapy

  • Every session ends with a satisfied, tongue-out pup looking for the nearest shady spot
