My focus is to build a good relationship and communication between dog and owner so the dog has its “Forever Home”. Dogs do not automatically know how to live in the human home and without realizing it the owner will sometimes reinforce the unwanted behaviors in their dogs.  With my personalized training you will come to understand that most behaviors the dog shows are natural and acceptable in the canine world but are not appropriate in their human environment.  I carefully detail the observed social behavior during the consultation. This provides insight into why the dog is acting like it does.  

I will use positive reinforcement (the dog works for something it wants) and negative punishment (taking away something the dog likes) in my training.  With the use of food and rewards I will teach the dog specific behaviors.  By motivating the dog you will see eagerness from him to learn. 

My methods are down-to-earth, friendly, and straight-forward.
