My Training Philosophy
CONSISTENCY - CLARITY - COOPERATION
My passion for the human-canine connection led me to pursue dog training as a career. Learning new and better ways to communicate with dogs is something that I find very interesting and I bring that into my work. Ultimately, I strive for my clients to walk away with a deeper understanding of how their dog works and how they can use that information to help achieve their training goals.
​
I strive to support my clients through teaching them training techniques that emphasize a healthy relationship between them and their dog(s). My training style focuses on providing consistent criteria to the dog for each given situation, creating a training context that the dog readily wants to engage in, and helping facilitate cooperation between the dog and its owner. I always evaluate my training solutions using the LIMA approach. This means that I’ll try the Least Intrusive Minimally Aversive method to teach your dog whatever it needs to know prior to trying any other technique. I’ve found that this results in a more reliable, long-lasting impact on a dog’s behavior than other styles or training I’ve utilized or seen other people use in the past.
If there is one thing that I hope my client’s walk away with, it’s this: the effort and consistency you put into your dog is going to be one of the largest determining factors in how workable your problem is. If you’re invested and make the time to work with your dog fairly and consistently, then you’re ahead of the game.
