Feeling overwhelmed? Have had previous trainers work with you and had no success? Want a second opinion or a direction in which to find answers?
I can provide the most effective advice after meeting you and your dog to observe their triggers and identify any communication challenges. This allows us to determine the best approach to support you and your dog. Every family dynamic and dog-human relationship is unique, so understanding how you and your family interact with your dog is essential. This insight helps me offer the right guidance or, if necessary, refer you to a more suitable resource.
