My Services.
The focus of my business is to create an optimal environment in which people can learn to train their dogs. I have a beautiful training facility which is fully matted for your dog’s comfort and traction. It is warm in winter and cool in summer.
For clients who live at a distance from my Westminster facility, it is easier than ever to break up training into a combination of private sessions in my training facility, on Zoom or at your home or in your community. I tailor training to the needs of the client.
Most of the work is done between our meetings. You follow my clear instructions, practicing with your dog daily. Each time we meet, we review and move the training forward at the client’s pace.
My goal is to give you the skills and information you need to be successful, for your dog to be successful, so that you can enjoy life together. But you must participate! I work hard for my clients. The dog owners who are successful are the one’s who work hard in return.

Training.
Remote Consultations and Training.
While I prefer to work in person, I do offer consultations and training via Zoom for those who are outside of my area.
If you are familiar with the Zoom platform and can take videos and post them to You-tube, then we can work together effectively, no matter where you are. This can work very well.
Let me know that you are interested in working remotely and we can talk about this option.
Quick Start Consult. FREE!!!
If you are not quite sure how to proceed, let’s talk about it.
I offer a half-hour “get-to-know-you” session. Send me an e-mail and we can pick a time to meet. You would come here. You can bring your dog or not! Your dog can stay in the car or come inside and join the conversation.
You get to meet me, see my training facility and then decide. It’s Free. Get in touch.

Dog Trainer Two and Beyond.
For those who have completed my Dog Trainer One series, you can continue training privately with me, to strengthen and add to your tool-box of behaviors.

Intensive Training.
This is a great option for people with any young, high drive dog, like German shepherds, Malinois, Rotweiller, Doberman, Labs, Goldens etc..that require advanced handling skills. The owner needs to aquire these skills quickly to handle these breeds especially during the first year and a half.
You and your dog meet with me four days a week for four weeks. Prepare to work hard! This is one of my most popular models because it is so effective.
Four sessions a week, four weeks. $1,800.00
Puppy Prep. Get ready!
Over time we tend to forget how demanding a new puppy is. We remember the good stuff!
If you are thinking about a puppy or are waiting for your puppy then having a bit of a refresher consult is a great idea.
We go over setting up an x-pen, house training, reading list, shopping list….and how to prepare yourself for this exciting yet demanding period in your dog’s life. We even start to aquaint you with the principles of training and how your puppy will learn. Be prepared!
In person, on Zoom or on speaker phone.
Consultation, $275.00
Puppy Learns.
It is just amazing what we can do with young puppies using clicker training and puppy learning games. I generally advise clients to let the puppy settle in for a week or ten days and then we can get started. The earlier you start the better.
The advantage of private training with your puppy is that you can focus without the distraction of others puppies, and we can tailor your sessions to you and your specific needs.
Puppies are like children. Their brains are the most plastic and open to learning when they are young. Build a cooperative language early and the puppy will have it for life.
One session a week, 4 weeks, $420.00
Behavioral.
Behavioral Consultation.
If your dog is displaying aggression of any sort, or fear based behaviors like separation anxiety, or on-leash reactivity toward other dogs, these are serious problems and their resolution is more complex. This is when I suggest a behavior consultation so I can identify the best course to take for your dog. It is essentially an information gathering session.
You will receive a written document outlining the behavioral issues described, initial suggestions for safety, a prognosis and a plan for training and behavioral modification to change your dog’s behavior.
Please note that I work with domestic, pet dogs only. This excludes “working” livestock guarding dogs, wolf-hybrids, and protection trained dogs. I also must exclude dogs who have a Level 4 bite history and above. Bite Scale.
These exclusions are for legal, liability reasons.
In person, on Zoom or on speaker phone.
One Consultation session. $275.00
Behavioral Consultation and Training Package.
Any serious behavioral problem, including separation anxiety, reactivity, and any type of aggression, will take a minimum of six sessions to change. My goal is to give you the skills that you need to continue the work on your own. Training and management for these dogs is usually for life.
