I provide problem-solving solutions, in-home training, and relationship building when a class or group situation doesn't work for you.

 

Certifications:

 

Training Equipment: I use a fun relationship with your pet, lots of treats, and a reward marker.

 

Training Philosophy: I'm an operant conditioning trainer - I use positive reinforcement and management. I will also use negative reinforcement when it's appropriate, but never positive punishment to train your dog.

 

Locations Served: Fargo, Moorhead, and surrounding areas (milage may apply outside of the FM metro area.)

 

Group classes are great, but sometimes the schedule doesn't fit with your schedule, sometimes your dog's behavior is causing an issue in a class, and sometimes the things you need to work on don't happen in a class. I teach you how to train your dog, at your home where he or she needs to listen to you. I strive to find both management and training solutions that you can implement and maintain. Whether good manners at home, a pleasant walk in the neighborhood, or a group class is your goal, I'll help you get there. I've worked with multiple dog families, multi-species households, kids, problems behaviors like house-soiling, separation anxiety, reactivity, fear, resource guarding, and just plain poorly mannered pets.
