Petsmart Dog Training

Positive training is science based and current. It does not mean dogs get a treat all the time. That's a common misconception and born out of a plethora of misinformation and lack of education.

I've been a trainer for over 13 years. I've re-trained dogs (and their humans) after they have taken corrective classes and/or board & train. I base my philosophy on facts, science, education, and experience.

Rewards are fluid. There is no "one" reward that works across the board. Dogs are like humans; not one is exactly like another. As a trainer I have studied behavior and prided myself on sharing that knowledge with my clients. Positive Training means working the problem. It's not a quick fix. It's a journey you take with your dog, not something you do to your dog. It means trust, respect and love. If you feel you have to inflict harm on your dog to get results, I implore you to try a respected and educated Positive trainer.

I have helped so many families and I stay with them until they are comfortable with their communication skills. The happiness I see when a human starts to understand their dog is priceless to me. When we, as humans, begin to learn their language all the frustration and need for that quick fix fades away.

I love what I do. As we head into summer I have some amazing training opportunities coming up. Stay tuned !!🐾
