Becoming a dog trainer for me is so much more than helping clients teach their dog a few behaviours. I want to help you develop a true relationship with your dog, through reward-based concept training. Seeing the joy this brings to families and their dogs, is so rewarding to me. I use games to make training not only fun for the dog but also for you. This game based method teaches the dog focus, calmness, optimism, self control, and confidence. All of these concepts lead to a well behaved dog, that you will proud of calling your companion.
