Certified Professional Dog Trainer. In-residence training and problem behavior reprogramming using scientifically proven methods. Clear and concise, gentle guidance for owners and their dogs.
I help dog parents to:
1) Define and focus on what they want from their dog. This makes training much easier for the owner to understand and sets the dog up for training success.
2) Identify what is rewarding for their dog at any given time in different contexts.
3) Use least-aversive, proven scientific techniques to diminish unwanted behavior and increase desired behavior.
4) Reduce owner stress by removing emotion from dog training sessions. Scientific techniques do not rely on dominance theories, a dog's "willingness to please," nor on how much an owner loves or doesn't love one's dog.
