Behavior Modification
Do you have a fearful dog? Maybe a dog that barks & lunges at other dogs? Or is your dog a ball of energy who can never settle, even after hours of exercise and play?

Do you feel like you're having to manage and control your dog all of the time, and what you've been told to do just isn't working? That's because trying to control your dog's fear/anxiety, hyperactivity, or reactivity can create frustration (for both of you), and actually make things worse!  Thoughts and emotions drive behavior, so we need to start there.


By removing the conflict from your training, and your relationship with your dog, we will set you both up for success! You will learn how to reward your dog for good behaviors (choices) to get more of those behaviors, use play to build confidence in your dog, create clear and consistent boundaries, and teach you dog how to let got of stress and frustration. We will also ensure there is clarity and balance in your life with your dog, making for a happier human and dog!  
​

Imagine your fearful dog feels safe and is more confident in life, your reactive dog is optimistic and stops barking and lunging at everything, and your hyperactive dog can actually relax!  You and your dog can have the life you dreamed of, and I can help you get there!
​

Not only have I seen the amazing transformation in so many of my client’s dogs, but also in my own dogs. Yes, my own rescue dogs suffered from fear, hyperactivity, anxiety, and reactivity! So I have personal experience working with these issues, and I can relate to my clients, and the challenges they face with their dogs! 

Other things my training programs can help with...
  • Leash pulling/ leash reactivity,
  • Jumping on people, over excited greetings
  • Predatory behaviors (prey drive),
  • Destructive Behavior
  • Barking out the window,
  • Separation anxiety,
  • Resource guarding,
  • OCD behaviors
...and so much more!

I also offer...
  • Puppy Programs - potty training, crate training, starting recall & leash skills, how to prevent behavioral issues, etc! Let's get your puppy started off on the right foot!
  • Obedience Training - We can work on Sit/ Stay, Down/Stay, Heel (on & off leash).

​Reliable Recall 
(Come When Called)
Imagine being able to take your dog anywhere off leash, and trust they will come when called!  Imagine when you call your dog it comes running back to you, even with distractions all around!  With my Freedom Dog Program we will get you and your dog enjoying an off leash life in no time!  

​Using the Ecollar to communicate with your dog, we will teach a reliable recall (come when called)!  With a 2 phase system we will teach your dog what the Ecollar means, and that they have control of it.  We will start in low level distractions, and build up to more challenges, as your dog is ready.  Making sure you, and your dog are successful every step of the way to a reliable recall anywhere!


Included in this program:
  • Before commiting to the full program, we will meet for an evaluation session. This session will allow me to make sure your dog is ready for ecollar training, and I will go over the ecollar and how it works.  If your dog needs a little more training we will start there first. If you and your dog are ready to move forward, then we will get you scheduled!
  • This program is usually completed in 4-5 weeks, with 4 hours of instruction and hands on practice with me.  You will be practicing in between sessions. 
  • Electronic Remote Collar (E-collar), and other training equipment needed.  This is the Ecollar I use https://www.ecollar.com/products/et-300-mini-educator-e-collar-1-2-mile-remote-dog-trainer
  • 2 months of continued support (via text, phone, email) after completion of the program.
​
​** Not sure you can, or want to do the homework/training yourself, no problem!  I also offer a program where I will do the initial training with your dog. Once your dog is trained I will then show you how to use the Ecollar.
