Training

My goal is to help dogs thrive! I discovered my passion for training dogs when I rescued my first shepherd mix, Roxy. She was afraid of other dogs and had severe leash reactivity. I brought her to a trainer, but we were turned away. I decided to work with her on my own and began studying canine behavior. With a lot of patience and dedication we were able to work past those issues and build her confidence. She became one of my "best dogs ever!" I continued learning and received my certification as a Dog Trainer and Canine Behavior Consultant. I started a German Shepherd rescue and foster program where I took in shepherds of all ages with various behavioral issues. I've had great success with behavior modification and counter conditioning with dogs displaying difficult behaviors. I use balanced and modern techniques, including LIMA (least intrusive, minimally aversive) and implement positive, reward-based programs. I specialize in socialization, obedience and farm exposure. I also offer puppy classes, help with fear and anxiety and reactive-dog behavior modification.
