Trust & Train

Available for One-on-One sessions in your home. 
The Pre-Registration Consultation call is always free! You can decide to hire (or not) after the call.
 

Some people call it “Day Training”, but, of course, I have to be a little bit different.
Training without the guardian present was something I wasn’t interested in doing at first as I’m a very firm believer in “relationship first”, and that the best tool you have to train your dog is the bond you create with them.

That belief hasn’t changed, however, after having a few clients ask me to work with their dogs without them present, and then update them on the progress, I’ve realized how much I actually enjoy just communicating with the dog, and giving them my full attention while working on their skills. I’ve also realized how quickly the dogs learn when my attention is not split between them and their guardians.

And so, Trust & Train is born! 

Just like Life Skills 101, the Discovery Call is free and we can work on any of the life skills you deem necessary for a happy life with your dog. 

You create the goals, I will help your dog learn them, and then (here’s the best part) you can watch (and replay) every session. 

How? 

I will be wearing a body cam while I work with your dog! I will record the full hour, from the time I get out of my car to the time I get back in my car to leave for the day. During the session, I will provide commentary about everything your dog and I are doing, what I’m observing and learning about your dog, and decoding your dogs body language in real time. 

You will get to see the training session from a unique point of view: directly from the dog trainer. Through watching our sessions, you will see my training in real time so you can learn what works with your dog, why it works, and how to recreate it for your own work with your dog.

Common goals are:

• recall
• boundary training (there’s nothing scarier than a dog bolting out an open door… I’ve been there!)
• how to have proper greetings with people, children, and with other dogs (or, even better, how to ignore them altogether)
• working on “place”
• loose leash walking
• confidence building
• basic canine body language – do you know what your dog is trying to tell you? I can help you learn
• enrichment – what it is, why it’s important, and how can we facilitate it
• anything else that you can think of!
