Thanks to a dog, I am now a trainer. Learning everything I can about what makes a dog tick, respond, act, and react makes me a better and intentional trainer. I strive for the results you dream of, one dog at a time, one day at a time. I am on the dog's side and am bold enough to tell you when things could be better. My dog, Briar, is a 6 year old Borzoi.
Let's change the course of your dog's life, soon! Knowing how dogs learn makes training easier. Learning through mentors and trainers who came before me has been invaluable in deciding what makes training successful. As your coach, I will empathize and encourage you to get the best from your individual, unique companion dog using kind, effective techniques.

My journey to becoming a dog trainer began in 1995 when I adopted my first dog from Golden Gate Labrador Retriever Rescue located in the San Francisco Bay area.
Jordan was a sweet 2-year-old yellow Labrador.
He became my constant companion, but, while he excelled in obedience classes, he barked fiercely when people came to our front door.
Jordan's behavior was beyond my control and understanding.
I felt frustrated and embarrassed.
I needed help.
I felt as if I opened Pandora's box when I tried to find a trainer.

My training style, honed over more than 20 years of experience, is kind, intentional, proactive.
Using shaping, luring, positive reinforcement and capturing behaviors for the best outcome, I put the onus on the dog - which helps them gain autonomy in carefully crafted environments.
The key is to control the environment, not the dog.
I help you to read your dog's body language and understand how they learn - building trust, cooperation, and training better behaviors.
My approach is customized to your dog and your unique situation.

The 'imprinting time' ends around 14 weeks of age.
Everything they have experienced until then, good and bad, sticks for life, so, getting this part right will serve you both well!
Having a happy, solid, grounded dog makes for a more relaxed life with a dog.
They start by getting used to their new home.
This includes learning where to relieve themselves, as well as what they can and can't bite, chew, eat, sleep on, climb on, or make noise about.
