Real-world, Relationship based dog training

Dogs aren’t born knowing how to live in our world. Things like pulling on leash, barking at distractions, or struggling to settle aren't "bad" behavior, just a sign they need guidance. Training isn’t about making them robotic or suppressing who they are, it’s about giving them the skills to exist calmly and confidently in the life you want to share with them.

I focus on practical, real-world training that fits into your daily routine and helps your dog succeed in everyday situations. Whether that means working on walking politely with you through busy streets, staying relaxed at home, or just listening the first time you ask, I look at both behavior and improving general communication and relationship between you and your dog.

A trained dog has more freedom, and more freedom means more opportunities to do the things you love together!



Structured In-Home Boarding

Many dogs aren't immediately comfortable in unfamiliar environments, around new people, or without a routine. Most don’t thrive in traditional, unstructured boarding settings, whether on their own or placed among unfamiliar dogs. I offer worry-free, in-home boarding tailored to your dog's individual needs and designed to give you peace-of-mind while you’re away. Whether they’re an energetic social butterfly or prefer a quieter, more reserved approach, they’ll get the personalized care and attention they need to feel safe, mentally stimulated, and content during their stay.
