We waited a long time to invest in professional training for our 7 year old lab mix Finn. Becca has started training w him proving you really can teach an old dog new tricks. She is very professional and spends quality time explaining what the work she is doing means to the dog. We are hoping for a much better walker (way less pulling) by the time Finn graduates.

Stop putting off or questioning if getting a dog trainer is worth it and contact Becca with BlackDog Training. I have a very hyper and excitable dog who was a pain to take on walks, I used to dread taking him around my neighborhood. After contacting Becca and her taking the lead on five walks with my dog and providing myself and my partner with additional training tips we could use on walks and in our home, our dog completely did a 180. Walks are absolutely wonderful and his behavior in the house and around our guests has also improved. We couldn’t be more grateful, contact her today!
I was hesitant about virtual puppy training at first, but Becca and BlackDog has made it super easy! After a consultation call, she built out a personalized training plan for me and my pup. Already in just a few weeks, I've been able to make significant progress on alarm barking and separation anxiety. It's been great — would highly recommend in my experience.
Becca is so knowledgeable and helpful! Her background working with a wide variety of animals really helps her to create tailored plans for individual dogs and owners. It’s also really important to me to find a trainer based in science and positive reinforcement to help me bond with my two dogs in the best way!
