My Approach
I provide play-based training that builds cooperation, trust, and a willingness for correction. Finding a play style that fulfills a purpose - what your dog was bred to do - builds a desire to engage and cooperate with you instead of ignoring and fighting against you. As you become a person that your dog desires to interact with and trusts, your dog will be excited to learn and obey. I use play to build relationship, to teach obedience commands, to build a confident dog, and to introduce corrections. I spend time with each owner to make sure they are able to replicate the same success I'm able to achieve, because if the owner isn't successful, neither am I. Each dog, owner, and situation is different, so my approach is customized accordingly.
My Story
I have never been a day in my life without a dog. 🙂 At the age of 13 I was given a Rottweiler from a friend of the family who was a breeder. She gave me just a couple of small tips on how to teach my new dog how to sit and which hand signals she used for sit, down, and finish. From that point on, training was something I did with each dog I have owned.
Before long, neighbors, friends, and acquaintances began noticing the trust I was able to give my dogs and requested training for their own. From there, beginning a business was a natural progression.
Although training dogs started out as just something fun, it turned into a necessity in my mind as I became aware of all the dogs that are turned over to shelters and pounds or even killed due to unwanted behaviors. It was first my love for dogs, quickly followed by the joy I see on owners' faces upon the return of their furry friends that fuels my passion for training.
