DON'T WORRY.
TRAIN HAPPY.
Humane, science-based, professional dog training and behavior consulting.
“I love your dog. I know we haven’t met yet, but I adore your shy Maggie, your growling Jake, your jumping Lucy, and your barking and lunging Charlie. Using a positive approach, I will teach you how to change behaviors and worries while building a trusting partnership with your dog.
Shhh...don’t tell anyone, but that’s what dog training and behavior change is all about! Before you know it, you might just end up with a happy, polite pup."

MY TRAINING APPROACH
Kindness and science. Those are my training tools.
I am dedicated to humane, science-based training principles that focus on positive reinforcement and building trust. I do not use any equipment or techniques that rely on fear, force, pain, or intimidation. Ever.
Using a dog-friendly approach rooted in the science of animal learning means you can effectively address behavior issues while building a fantastic partnership with your dog. Your dog learns skills and trust. You learn to truly understand your dog.
Don't worry, train happy!
