What types of training do you offer?

I can work with you on obedience training your puppy or adult dog, leash walking, addressing anxiety and fear, reactivity, and more! If you aren’t sure if I can help with your goals, or if you aren’t sure what you need - just ask. I will be happy to help!

Where will our training session be held?

Most frequently, it makes the most sense for me to meet you at your home. If other arrangements are necessary, we will talk about it beforehand. I can visit you and your dog in Roseburg, Oregon and surrounding areas.

What Packages do you offer?

I offer a variety of packages to tackle situations and training goals of all types. Once we complete our free evaluation, I will help you determine what package is the right fit for you and your dog.

what’s a CPDT-KA and why should I work with one?

A CPDT-KA is a dog trainer who has been certified by the Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers as “Knowledge Assessed”. The Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers is a multinational organization that offers certifications to dog trainers who have accrued sufficient professional training experience and can demonstrate a high level of knowledge in the field. As dog training is an unregulated industry, it is important to check the background of any trainer you work with. A CPDT-KA has been tested on their competency in dog behavior and the science of training.

What is your training philosophy?

I treat every dog and case as an individual. I recognize that while there are certain “best practices” in training, your dog, your circumstances, and your needs are unique. With that in mind, I will work with you to create a training approach that best fits you and your dog.

What tools and methods do you use?

I believe that happy, healthy, motivated dogs make for a harmonious household. I use reward based training and a variety of management methods to tackles behavior problems as needed.

What is reactivity?

Reactive dogs are dogs who overreact to common stimuli. These stimuli could include other dogs, humans, motion, and noise, and more. If you have a dog who barks, growls, or lunges at other dogs, you are familiar with dog reactivity. Dog reactivity can be significantly reduced through training. If you are looking for hope for your reactive dog, you are in the right place!

Can you help my dog with reactivity, anxiety, or resource guarding?

Yes! I have a background in working with reactive, anxious, and resource guarding dogs. Schedule a free evaluation with me to set your dog on the path to behavioral harmony.
