How can you help my dog?

Positive reinforcement dog training prioritizes understanding and addressing a dog's ​emotional state and behavior triggers. Tailored strategies, exercise, and enrichment activities ​optimize success. With client cooperation and ongoing guidance, this approach fosters ​lasting behavioral changes, promoting a healthier and happier relationship between dog and ​owner. Collaboration with veterinarians may be necessary for complex cases.

Wh​y is it necessary to have multiple sessions?

Just as mastering any skill takes time and practice, so does teaching our dogs new behaviors. ​Through multiple sessions, we can gradually introduce and reinforce essential skills in various ​situations, ensuring your dog's behavior is consistent across different contexts and environments.

How many sessions do I need?

The number of sessions needed is influenced by the specific issues you want to address and ​the level of support desired. For complex behavior issues like fear and reactivity, or if training ​multiple dogs, a custom package is recommended. Unsure? Contact us before purchasing to ​discuss goals and your dogs' needs. Consistent at-home practice and ongoing training ​remain essential for success, regardless of the package chosen.

Ho​w can I maximize my dog’s success in a session?

Avoid excessive exercise and playdates prior to the session. Schedule grooming and vet visits for ​after training, avoiding the night before or the morning of. Consider offering a partial meal or ​skipping a meal if the session is close to your dog's regular mealtime.

What distinguishes Coaching from Day Training Sessions?

During Coaching Sessions, I collaborate with you and your dog, alongside any family members you​ choose, to impart knowledge on canine learning principles and effective positive reinforcement​ techniques. We cover behavior capturing and problem-solving strategies. In contrast, Day Training​ Sessions involve one-on-one work with your dog, allowing for accelerated training without the​ need to explain methods to the client. By combining these approaches, we ensure consistent,​ goal-oriented training, expediting progress for both dog and client.​

Am I allowed to be present during the Day Training ​Sessions?

You're welcome to be home during the Day Training, however, I kindly ask that any questions be h​eld until the end of the session. This ensures maximum focus on one-on-one time with your do​g, expediting progress​ and results.

What if I have multiple dogs that require training?

If you have multiple dogs needing training, reach out to us and we will tailor a program to ​address their needs and your goals.
