Hi just wanted to let you know we were at a dog friendly restaurant and some owners didn’t have their german shepherds on leash and they ran and scared Bartola and started barking at her. She stayed calm and kept walking! I’ve never been more proud”

FAQ
What age should I start training?
Right away. Puppies are always learning from the moment they come home so the earlier you start the easier it is to build good habits
How long does it take to see results?
Most people start noticing small changes pretty quickly when they stay consistent. Big changes come from those small wins adding up over time
I don't have a lot of time to train everyday. How often should I train?
Short and sweet is the way to go! Especially with puppies. 5 minutes a day goes a long way
What makes your training different?
I focus on letting your pups personality shine! My training sessions are not rigid routines that are boring for you and your puppy. I love to have fun and play games because that makes learning stick better in all species.
What if my puppy doesn't "get it"?
Puppies are learning all the time, even when it doesn't feel like it. Sometimes we need to change a cue to make it clearer for them but they will get it with consistency.
A calm, connected walk doesn't happen by luck, by teaching your puppy the skills they need now, you're creating a future filled with happy walks and relaxed days out.
You want to be a responsible dog mom, and by working with an expert trainer early, you lay the foundation for your pup's good behavior long-term.
