Behavior & Training Services
Need help? Put my skills to work for you!
Hello and thank you for visiting! As a certified trainer (CPDT-KA) with thousands of hours of professional dog handling experience, I am fully equipped and ready to help you and your dog! I provide professional training & consulting services designed to help people solve behavior & training challenges and build thriving relationships with their dogs. The training is positive reinforcement based (force free) and dog friendly. I'm located in Mountain View, CA and provide mobile services, convenient virtual services using Zoom, and custom packages that include both online and in person sessions. Some of the behavior issues that I work on frequently include:
- Leash walking challenges, such as pulling on leash or "freezing"
- "Reactive" behaviors, such as barking/growling/lunging at dogs/people/bikes, etc.
- Fear based behaviors
- Resource guarding (guarding food, toys)
- Aggression issues
- Fun games to add enrichment and build confidence
- Teaching new behaviors
Please note that I do not offer single training sessions for new clients because I believe that this does not serve my clients nor their dogs well. I work with a small set of clients at time so that I can focus on providing excellent coaching to folks that are invested in learning and building the skills needed to achieve desired outcomes. Dog training, like most other things, takes time and practice in order to get it right. I offer a free initial phone consult to better understand your situation, answer questions, determine if my services would be a good fit to address your training goals, and suggest what a training plan would like like based on your needs. Please complete the "Sign-Up" above form to get started.
If you are interested in aversive/compulsive style training, my services may not be the right fit for you. I am Fear Free Certified and do not use "pinch" collars, shock collars, and the like. There are other trainers that use these methods, although I strongly advise against it because of the behavioral fallout and damage that can result. I understand that it can be confusing and even overwhelming for many pet owners due to the vast amount of information available about dog training. If you are considering this type of training, I encourage you to take time to do your own research before making a decision that could cause harm to your pet.
Workshops
Additionally, I teach online classes and in person workshops that allow people to learn in a fun, relaxed class format with other learners. Check out the WORKSHOPS page for more info...
