Building better behaviourS — one STEP at a time
Training Methods
Whether you have a new puppy, just adopted a dog or your current dog could use a refresher, I can help you achieve your best with them.
I know personally how stressful dog ownership can be. I will work with you, to teach YOU to train your dog in a way that clearly communicates your expectations of them with methods that motivate your dog to learn.
I start by understanding the relationship you want to have with your dog and I make this the center of my programs. You will learn how to communicate with your dog in a language you BOTH understand.
I strive to enforce the connection and relationship between dog and handler, all while having fun! This is done through positive-based, humane and scientifically proven training methods.
Training Tools
Reinforcement is my primary tool to help the connection between dog and handler to communicate what we want from them, instead of using aversive methods to correct mistakes.
I DO use treats, toys, verbal praise, environmental rewards and various tools like harness, leashes and longlines that go hand in hand with a training program. Backed by science, this approach of positive reinforcement, force free dog training uses the standards for the LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) techniques to shape desirable behaviours that we want to see from our canine companions.
Growing up I only knew about force-based training methods which involved punishing our dogs for not doing as asked or expected. The desire to learn another way pushed me to search for alternative methods as a young adult. I knew there had to be another way.
Next Steps
From continuing education, to living with, working with and fostering a range of dog breeds, I have the experience to work with you to resolve your dog's training problems.
All my group classes and privates are for dogs of all ages to help curb unwanted behaviours and transform them into wanted behaviours. I work with you to set up your puppy, adolescent, adult, even senior dog for success as they learn to navigate the world in your family.
