Training and Programs
I am a relationship-based dog trainer. People often ask me what this means. It means that I work with the dog and owner in front of me to help bridge the gap in communication to better your relationship with your dog. By building up the relationship between you and your dog, we are able to access the desired behaviours we want vs what we don’t want being able to improve your daily lifestyle with your dog. Not every dog and owner learns the same way. I customize my training to help teach YOU how to better communicate with your DOG.
I have worked as a student under Kelsey from Albertak9 while completing the four month certification of a fundamental program offered at Leerburg University instructed by Micheal Ellis. in 2023, I attended the train the trainer program by Method K9. during my time there I was able to do more hands-on with behavioural dogs to learn more about more serious cases of behavioural modification. I am always educating myself and learning so feel free to ask me more about my training style and methods.

Our puppy program is designed to help you and your young puppy develop essential skills and behaviours that will set a strong foundation for their future. Participating in a puppy class is an excellent way for new puppy owners to learn effective training techniques, bond with their puppies, and ensure that their furry companions develop into well-adjusted and well-behaved adult dogs. It can also be a valuable opportunity for puppies to socialize and learn from their peers.
This includes early socialization is vital. It involves exposing your puppy to various people, animals, environments, and experiences in a positive and controlled manner. Socialization helps puppies become confident and adaptable to different situations and reduces the risk of fear or aggression. Basic obedience commands such as sit, stay, come, down, and leave it. Positive reinforcement methods, which use treats, praise, and play as rewards for desired behaviors, are highly effective in training puppies. Getting your puppy accustomed to being handled, including having their paws touched, ears examined, and teeth inspected. This makes grooming and veterinary care easier in the future.
