Training Background
As a passionate dog trainer with a deep understanding of dog psychology, I’ve honed my skills through a combination of formal training programs and a private apprenticeship. My approach is grounded in modern, science-backed methods that focus on building strong, trusting relationships between dogs and their owners. Whether you’re looking to correct behaviors, strengthen communication, or teach new skills, I tailor my methods to fit your dog’s unique needs.
Personal Background
Originally from Colorado and now exploring the hidden gems of the Pacific Northwest with my two dogs, Alex and Leia, I’m dedicated to making a positive impact in my community through a shared love and respect for animals. With over 10 dogs living on the family property, it’s no exaggeration to say I come from a household where dogs are considered cherished members of the family. This deep respect is evident in every interaction I have with the animals, ensuring my training methods are always focused on their well-being, attention, and safety.
I’m here to offer support with the challenges of dog ownership. Let’s work together to find solutions and achieve success in your dog’s training journey.
Our Balanced Training Approach
-
Connection
We start by building communication channels between you and your dog to foster trust, rapport, and a genuine desire to learn.
-
Conditioning
We use a combination of exciting rewards and ethical corrections, encouraging desirable behaviors while eliminating those that are unwanted.
-
Consistency
We take the knowledge and tools provided in training and integrate them into daily life. Through consistent practice, we strengthen both the training and the bond between handler and dog.
