Our Services
I’m not here to impress you with fancy dog training lingo or sell you a quick fix. I’m here to help you understand your dog—really understand them—so you can build a life together that feels calmer, easier, and more connected. I take a practical, thoughtful approach rooted in empathy for both dogs and their people. I believe most so-called “bad behavior” is just a dog doing their best in a world that doesn’t always make sense to them—and I’m here to help you both make more sense of it, together.
Behavioral Evaluations
Not sure what’s going on with your dog—or where to even start? A behavioral evaluation gives us space to dig in and get the full picture. We’ll talk through what you’re seeing at home, what’s working (and what’s not), and what your dog might be trying to tell you. Whether you're dealing with reactivity, fear, or aggression, this session helps us figure out what your dog needs and how we can support you both moving forward.
Private Lessons
Private lessons are all about meeting you and your dog where you’re at—literally and figuratively. Whether we work at your home or on my property, these sessions are tailored to your real life, your goals, and your dog’s unique needs. We’ll dig into what matters most to you, build useful skills step by step, and help you create habits that stick. It’s real work, but it’s the kind that leads to real change—for both of you.
Board & Train
Board and Train is a great option for families who want focused, consistent training that lays a solid foundation. Your dog will stay with me on my property, where we’ll work daily on the skills they need most—whether that’s leash manners, calm behavior in the home, or building emotional regulation around triggers. It’s immersive and structured, giving your dog clear guidance and lots of reps in a supportive environment. You’ll still be part of the process, with follow-up lessons to make sure the progress transfers smoothly back home.
boarding
Holistic Boarding is more than just a place for your dog to stay, it’s a space where their emotional and physical well-being are taken seriously. Dogs live in a home environment on my property with plenty of enrichment, rest, and one-on-one attention. Whether your dog is social or prefers their own space, I tailor their experience to what helps them feel safe and comfortable. It's ideal for dogs who need a calmer, more thoughtful approach to boarding and for humans who want peace of mind while they’re away.
shelter & Rescue Services
I work with shelters and rescues to offer practical, real-world behavior support. That might mean evaluating a single dog, helping with placement decisions, creating enrichment plans, or supporting fosters and adopters. I focus on giving you useful, realistic input based on the resources you actually have—not ideal-world solutions that don’t fit your setup. Whether it’s a one-time consult or ongoing support, my goal is to help you help the dogs, without overcomplicating things.
