trainable

Balanced training for dogs and their humans

Private Lessons

All training - from basic obedience to reactivity &  aggression rehabilitation - starts with learning to read your dog's body language and developing a strong communication system that makes sense to you both.

Groups

Pack walks, neighborhood meet ups and structured play workshops to help you learn how and when you should advocate for your dog's space to help you both lead a happier life.

Specialized Training

Are you getting ready for your Canine Good Citizen test? Do you want to teach your dog to shut the door after they've gone out to potty? How about bringing you your slippers?

All dogs are worth the work.

I began my professional training because of my dog, Tuesday. 

We were out for a walk one day when a large dog hopped its fence and attacked us. Tuesday was bitten pretty severely, needed stitches and multiple vet visits.  And after the event, my dog was totally different. She started to become aggressive and reactive towards dogs, people, bikes and anything that moved. It broke my heart.

All I wanted was to learn how to help her regain her confidence out in the world and be able to be calm and polite around people and animals. 

After this first hand experience, I want nothing more than to share what I've learned with other people. 

It can feel incredibly overwhelming when you have a dog whose mood changes at the slightest disruption. I've been there. I totally get the frustration, disappointment and sadness that goes along with these "challenging" pups. My goal in starting this company has been to help people live happier life with their dogs. 

There are so many ways human expectations and dog temperaments can mesh or clash, and lot of the time, the solutions to complex problems are something surprisingly simple. 

I help mediate these relationships by teaching each dog/human partnership how to speak a common language and learn to work together as a team.

All dogs have the capacity to be good dogs. 

They are all trainable...and so are their people.
