Virtual Consulting Sessions
Need a sounding board or some professional guidance as you navigate your pet’s training journey?
Virtual Consulting Sessions are a flexible, low-pressure way to connect with a Certified Professional Dog Trainer to talk through training strategies, behavioral challenges, or ideas you’re considering. These sessions are ideal if you:
Want help developing or reviewing a training plan
Are looking for support between in-person lessons
Need guidance on maintaining progress after a program
Have a few questions and want professional input before diving in
While virtual sessions are not a substitute for hands-on behavior modification or in-depth training, they can be a valuable starting point or supplemental tool.
Sometimes you just need to talk things through with someone who gets it—and I’m here to help.

One on One Private Lessons
There’s no substitute for In-Person, Hands-On Training with you and your pet—right where real life happens.
Private lessons are designed to take place in your home or at a predetermined neutral location. Why? Because your pet doesn’t automatically generalize cues across different people and places. That’s why board-and-train programs often fall short: your pet may learn to follow cues from someone else, in a space they’ll likely never return to—but that doesn’t always translate to you and your home.
In our sessions, you’ll be the one guiding your pet, with me there to support, coach, and problem-solve with you. Together, we’ll address unwanted behaviors, strengthen communication, and build practical skills like obedience and house manners in the environment that matters most: your daily life.
