MY APPROACH

I help dogs and humans work together

Basic manners that stick

I work with the everyday problems that make living with a dog exhausting: pulling on the leash, lunging and barking at other dogs, jumping on guests, separation anxiety, chewing, digging, counter-surfing, and dogs who simply don't listen.

Behavior vs Obedience

What I teach is leadership — how to become someone your dog can follow, so that good behavior stops being something you enforce and starts being something he offers. Most of the problems above come from the same three causes, and once those are addressed, a great many of them resolve on their own.
