BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION

Bring out the best in your adolescent or adult dog.  Disruptive behaviors can be changed and a return to calm achieved.  With a customized package, I can help you reach optimal results for your dog.

PUPPY PRIORITIES

Wiggly puppy fluffballs are irresistible. Adorable attributes don’t have to wane with nipping, chewing, and house soiling.  Socializing your puppy with behavioral intent plays a large role in later responses.  My puppy packages incorporate tools and techniques that are effective not only during puppyhood, but into adolescence, too.

LEASH WALKING SKILLS

One of the greatest pleasures of having a dog is time together in the natural world.  Sometimes our dog has a different idea of what this looks like.  Young and silly OR reactive…My leash walking packages provide coaching for you and a plan for loose leash walking with an attentive doggy companion.
