Behavior Modification
Have you tried traditional obedience training to fix your dog's behavioral issues, but aren't seeing sustained change? Do you feel like you're having to manage your dog all of the time? That's because trying to control and manage your dog's fear/ hyperactivity/ reactivity with just obedience, can create frustration, and actually make things worse! Don't get me wrong, I love obedience work, but as something fun to do with my dogs. Let's focus on changing your dog's thoughts and emotions, to create an optimistic, confident, more focused dog first.
We will reward your dog for good behaviors (choices), create clarity in your relationships, and establish consistent boundaries. You will see real change in your dog's behavior, not to mention build a much stronger, trusting relationship with them! Thoughts and emotions drive behavior, so let's stop "training" our dogs, and start teaching and supporting them instead.
Let's help your fearful dog feel safe, your reactive dog become optimistic about it's triggers, and teach your hyperactive dog that it can choose relaxation, instead of on the go all of the time!
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 behavioral issues this system helps with...

I can also help you with other obedience training, but only when used for fun, or safety purposes. I do not teach obedience as a way to manage or control your dog's 'bad' behavior. That's what behavior modification is for

Available for clients who are either currently in a training program with me, or have finished one.
I will take your dog out for a 30 - 60 minute training session, while you're at work! Your dog will get outside for a potty break, and then we will work on proofing skills we have gone over in our sessions. This means less time you have to focus on training when you get home from work!
