Dog behavior problems can be frustrating and you are a great owner to
be looking for help rather than giving up on your beloved pet. Thank
you for seeking out a certified trainer.
I can help you, the dog parent, to:
1) Define and focus on what you want from your dog.
2) Identify what is rewarding for your dog at any given time so that he can get paid for desired behavior.
3) Properly and objectively, identify any triggers that set off reactive behavior.
4) Identify your dog's body language to stop reactivity before it starts.
5) Use least-aversive techniques to diminish unwanted behavior and increase desired behavior.
6)
Keep your sessions stress-free by removing emotion from dog training
sessions. Any human can train and all dogs can learn. It does not
matter your dog's "willingness to please," nor on how much you love or
don't love your dog.
I train my dogs for obedience competition,
shelter dogs to become great companions, and clients' dogs to have the
best relationship they can with their owners.
