In-Home Behavior Training

For puppies and dogs 6 months and older

Some behaviors are more challenging than others, and they’re often best addressed where they happen most, at home. Together, we’ll work on understanding and changing unwanted behaviors while building a stronger bond between you and your dog.

Common concerns include:

• Jumping
• Barking
• Pushy, insistent behavior
• Shyness
• Separation Anxiety
• Chewing
• Dogs that "just won't listen"
• Growling or snapping

Our goal is lasting behavior change that leads to a happier, more balanced household.

Individual Obedience Training

For puppies and dogs of all ages

Obedience training is about more than commands, it’s about learning to work together as a team. Through one-on-one lessons, I’ll teach you how to guide your dog in real-world settings with everyday distractions.

Skills include:

• Walking calmly on leash
• Sit, down, and stay
• Coming when called

We’ll practice in public spaces so your dog learns to respond reliably around other dogs, children, bicycles, squirrels, and other distractions.

In-Home Day School

For puppies and dogs 6 months and older

With this program, I come to your home on weekdays for two consecutive weeks to train your dog directly. Over this period, your dog will learn to respond to core commands: leash walking, sit, down, stay, and come, all practiced around real-world distractions.

At the end of the program, we’ll all meet to train together so you know exactly what your dog has learned and how to maintain their training. (Day School is available in select locations. Please inquire about availability in your area.)
