Trainer Profile

Pawtastic Pet Solutions

 
I'm a professional in-home dog trainer! If you've ever wanted a well-behaved pup but don't have the time to spend training them yourself, I'm right here for you. I'll come to your house and give your pup the personalized instruction they need using positive reinforcement techniques and strategies. Plus, I will teach you how to instruct your dog on an ongoing basis. My specialty? Puppies, Doodles, and multi-dog homes - no job is too big or small for me! If you're looking for a certified professional dog trainer who will turn your pooch into a perfect pet in no time, look no further - I'm your go-to pup pro.
 
Certifications:
 
Training Equipment: I opt for a standard leash and collar, or a No-Pull harness coupled with high-value treats to reinforce good behavior. For complex skills, I employ a clicker. I don't use choke chains, pinch collars or shock collars.
 
Training Philosophy: I believe that dogs learn best when they are rewarded for good behavior. I use positive reinforcement training methods. I do not follow dominance theory, instead I focus on building trust and clear communication with the dog, without using force.
 
Locations Served: San Antonio & surrounding area including Leon Valley, Helotes & Boerne, Texas
 
My goal as a professional in-home dog trainer is to provide you with a complete solution for your pup's needs. Not only do I offer day training and private lessons (done in the comfort of your home), but I'm also here for Pet Wellness Coaching, Nutrition Evaluations/Recommendations, and Pet Sitting/Boarding Services (for existing clients). I bring my favorite treats along, pick up your pup supplies, and help you choose the best dog food. I'm an expert in puppy socialization, leash pulling, jumping, reactivity, crate/house training - and more. Furthermore, I can work with you to prepare you and your pooch to be trained as service or therapy dogs! My mission is to help your dog grow into a well-behaved companion that you can enjoy living with for many years to come.
