Our private dog training offers personalized, expert guidance to meet your specific needs and goals.

My Month-to-Month Coaching programs are designed to provide thoughtful, individualized guidance while keeping your dog’s emotional wellbeing and learning process at the center. This service is ideal for owners who want to be hands-on in their dog’s training, with professional support to ensure clarity, consistency, and meaningful progress.

All coaching programs begin with a virtual consultation conducted over Zoom, which is included in the cost of your first month. During this session, I will take a detailed history, assess your dog’s current behaviors, and outline a training approach tailored to your goals and your dog’s needs.

Following the consultation, coaching is offered in four-week blocks, with the option to train on either a weekly or biweekly schedule. This structure allows for consistent support while also giving you time between sessions to practice, observe, and build fluency in the training process.

My approach emphasizes low-stress, reinforcement-driven training, along with practical management strategies to support your dog’s success in everyday life. Each session is customized to meet you and your dog where you are, with a focus on building clear communication, confidence, and sustainable skills.

This program is inherently collaborative. Your active participation is essential, as the majority of your dog’s progress will come from the work you put in between sessions. I provide ongoing guidance, feedback, and adjustments to ensure you feel supported every step of the way, while empowering you to become your dog’s primary trainer.
