I am a Certified Dog Trainer, serving RI and MA. Harm free, treat-based training method is followed. No E-Collars, choke or prong collars used. Training sessions are private and in your home to start. We move outdoors, using locations that will help strengthen your dog's good manners when they see other dogs, meet new people and see and hear unfamiliar sights and sounds. Loose leash walking and no jumping are popular training requests. Families learn to teach their dogs new behaviors to take the place of the unwanted ones. I am available to my clients between session to help trouble shoot if difficulties with homework or new behaviors arise. Let's get started!
