I am a different kind of dog trainer. I don’t take and train your dog. I’m a training coach, because when you work with me, I teach you how to be a better dog handler and owner. Rather than only spending an hour a week doing a class, you will have constant access to your dog trainer for any questions you may have at any time. We will use video calls and voice calls to discuss the dog’s behavior, and we will meet a few times a month to do some drills together and practice anything that you need hands on work with.
We will set up a training plan, and I will send you reading materials and worksheets/ logs as well. At times we will go over PowerPoints about certain issues as well. I will not be training your dog, but rather, you will learn how to train your dog and how to have your dog live harmoniously in your household. This is a great option for anyone wanting to train themselves a service dog as well, because I can teach you how to train tasks and public access work as well as teach you the laws and etiquette surrounding service animals.

Windy Walks...

This windy fall mornings gave Sunny a bit of a fright! It's very windy today and the trees are dropping their leaves for fall, so we have leaves whirling around, and it made Sunny a little anxious. We went for a short walk to get her used to the wind, and by the second block she had relaxed quite a bit and lowered her vigilance.
Walking back she was very interested in all the sights and sounds, so It took us a little bit longer to make it back to the house. Her focus definitely needs more work, because she was quite the space kiddet for the majority of the walk.
We have a chance to take the CGC (Canine Good Citizen) test in November, so we are working hard to insure success there. Her biggest and only real vice is that she is a jumper and is always so excited to meet people. We did practice this today and she sat nicely for petting with only one quick reminder! Hopefully soon we will be able to visit people without correction... she's just so friendly!

We have been taking advantage of all the time stuck at home due to COVID19 to have lots of fun and learn new things!

Little Miss Sunshine is a very quick learner; she had potty training down in just a couple days and is still going strong! She has also already started practicing basic obedience commands like sit, down, stand, and stay as well!

She is showing signs of concern before and during my panic attacks, so I will start shaping her alert here soon!

Tasks will be modified to fit future handlers needs, so hopefully we find Sunny her perfect partner in the next few weeks!

If you or someone you know is in need of a TRAINED service dog, ready in 2021 please get in contact with me for details!

Little Miss Sunshine taught herself a pretty cute trick! She hops up on the cinder block and sits.💖 I've just been capturing it when she does it naturally, which is almost every time we approach it. This trick should come in handy when we work on some bigger stuff later on!
