"He loses his mind at every dog on a walk. I've started driving to empty lots at 6am just to avoid it."
Reactivity"The puppy's teeth are everywhere and every video online tells me something different."
Puppy"She's an angel at home and a completely different dog the second the doorbell rings."
MannersOne-on-one, in your world
Training that fits your dog, not a class schedule.
Every dog learns differently, so no two plans look the same. I work with you and your dog in the places the trouble actually happens: your living room, your street, your front door, using force-free, reward-based methods. No prong collars. No fear. No shortcuts.
Programs
Six ways to meet your dog where they are.

How it works
Four steps from overwhelmed to on-track.
1
Reach out
Tell me what's going on: the walks, the doorbell, the 6am parking lots. No judgment.
2
Consultation
We meet your dog where the trouble actually happens and figure out what's really going on.
3
Your plan
A program built around your goals, your dog, and the life you actually live.

Real-world practice
Skills that hold up at the park, the vet, and the front door. Habits that stick.
