Hi, I’m Erin! I’m passionate about positive reinforcement training that helps dogs meet their needs and helps humans reach their training goals so they can live their best lives together.  I’ve worked for many years with dogs who need support adjusting to new environments, puppies who are just learning how to be part of a human family, and I teach group classes for puppies and dogs, as well as offer private training. I also specialize in two things that I absolutely love: (1) working with dogs whose families have babies or toddlers and (2) training service dogs for people with disabilities. My service dog training background also allows me to provide my pet dog training clients a very thorough training experience that truly prepares their dog to navigate the client’s typical environments (home, neighborhood walks, parks, beaches, and all of the great dog-friendly places San Diego has to offer) to their fullest potential.
