From experience, for good consistent progression and results, I recommend meeting once weekly to start. The MOST important time this is relevant is between our Consultation and our first actual training session. Most people notice changes in their dogs within the first 3 days – if we can get together within a week to begin building onto that initial progression, you are more likely to achieve your goals faster!
Consultation
Every new client begins their journey with me, however fast or long we’ll be working together, by sitting down and having a chat about your fur family member. This is where I will learn some history of you and your dog’s life together, the dynamic of the household, and get to know your dog or puppy’s personality. This helps me “get into their head” to determine exactly what is going on, if there are behaviors that need correcting, find out what type of learner your dog or puppy is, and what your goals are for yourself and your dog. In this session I will come up with the perfect plan to begin building a solid foundation for the training we will be doing.
As a behaviorist, I take into account every inside or outside aspect and influence that can, and will, affect your dog or puppy’s behavior. I see things in everyday routines or practices that may be translating unintended results and behaviors to your dog.
We will begin working on behaviors right away, and there will always be plenty of homework to practice.
This session runs between an hour and a half and two hours.

Maybe you just need some brushing up once in a while, or have a rotating schedule that might cause breaks in between meetings.

Service Dog Training
“Service Animal Defined by Title II and Title III of the ADA. A service animal means any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability.”
Service Dogs can come from reputable Service Dog breeders, with a history of providing quality performing, healthy, sound, dogs. Or they can be the pup you fell in love with at the shelter. If you have the latter, I can help assess your rescue to determine whether or not it would be suitable to meet your specific needs. Self-trained Service Dogs have just as much importance in their handlers’ lives as program dogs.
In our sessions, I will work with you to master obedience with your dog, educate on ADA regulations, teach you how to choose tasks that your Service Dog will perform to help mitigate your disability and how to train your Service Dog to accomplish these tasks. We will also work on Public Access, and I will guide you through transitioning into a life of living with a Service Dog.
Because Service Dogs are considered essential pieces of medical equipment, we will be working together for a longer period of time than most other training options. This is to ensure that your Service Dog is fine-tuned to suit your needs in any situation of your life.
