What We Offer
Behavior Assessments & Support Plans
A private lesson provides one-on-one time with the pet, their owner, and the trainer. In these lessons, the owner learns how to work through the behavior plan with their pet. Perfect for those who are all about the hands-on learning, who can take the ball and run with it between lessons.

The Training Process
Management
The foundation of creating positive change. Good management means everyone knows what happens, how it happens, and when it happens. They key here is preventing the practicing of unwanted/inappropriate/harmful behaviors.
Behavior Modification
Might also be thought of as rehabilitation. Behavior modification focuses on addressing the root cause of behaviors. It focuses on the needs these behaviors are currently meeting and the underlying emotional state.
“Training”
Training is what happens when we utilize learning theory to teach new skills and foster communication. Good training is fun, enriching, and strengthens the human-animal bond.
Set Up for Success
The process only works if it is reasonable to implement. For both the humans and the non-human animals in the household. My goal is to set you up for success so you can set your pet up for success. No one wants to keep doing something if they feel like they are failing all the time.
