PERSONAL ATTENTION. EVERY DAY.

A place in my home. A program of their own.

Your dog stays in my actual home and is cared for as if they were my own. With just three training dogs at a time, I keep things personal, giving each dog dedicated attention and training built around their individual needs.

Multiple daily lessons are paired with opportunities to practice throughout everyday routines. Thoughtfully planned field trips help your dog build on those skills in new environments, with experiences selected around their readiness and goals.

Your dog. Your life. Your training goals.

Some families want calmer walks and better manners at home. Others need help navigating reactivity, fear, or aggression. We’ll talk about what’s difficult now and what you’d love to enjoy together, then build a program around those priorities.

What we can work on

  • Everyday obedience and manners
  • Leash walking and recall
  • Confidence in unfamiliar places
  • Reactivity toward dogs or people
  • Fear, resource guarding, and aggression
  • Settling and making better choices at home

How long does training take?

Most board and train programs run three or four weeks. Dogs working through more complex behavioral challenges may need a longer stay to allow time for gradual, thoughtful progress.

Your recommended program length is determined after we discuss your dog’s history, needs, and your goals. Training priorities and the pace of new challenges are adjusted as your dog progresses.

Your dog’s progress includes you.

WE’RE IN THIS TOGETHER

Helping your dog learn is only part of the process. We’re partners in their progress, and I want you to feel confident carrying their training into your everyday life.

Your program includes go-home lessons where we practice together. You’ll learn how to communicate clearly, understand what your dog has been learning, and use those skills in the situations that matter to you.

My support doesn’t end at go-home. I’m here for guidance, questions, and encouragement throughout your dog’s life.

An investment in your life together.
