Dog Training Services
Individual Training Sessions
Whether you’re starting from scratch or feeling stuck with your dog, one-on-one sessions give you the support, structure, and strategy to make real progress.
Watching training videos can be helpful, but your dog isn’t like every other dog and you’re not like every other owner. I’ll help you understand what your dog needs, create a plan that fits your life, and show you exactly how to work together.
We don’t need to chase perfection (unless that’s what you want!)—just a better day-to-day life for you and your dog. Small changes can go a long way, and we’ll focus the session on what matters most to you.
What to expect
Goal-setting: We'll talk about your dog, your lifestyle, and what you want to change or improve.
Assessment: I’ll observe your dog in relevant situations, like greeting strangers (me), walking on leash, ability to relax, or responding to “no’s,” to understand where they’re struggling.
Guidance: I’ll show you how to address the behaviors using tools and methods you're comfortable with.
Resources: I’ll bring some simple handouts you can reference during and after our session.
Custom plan: We'll create a longer-term plan that fits your goals and daily routine, whether you continue with me or on your own.
Summary: After the session, I’ll email you a recap with any additional recommendations and resources.
Ongoing support: One week later, we’ll have a brief check-in call to answer questions and make sure you're feeling confident. I'm also available for quick texts as you start putting the plan into action.
Virtual Training Sessions
If getting together in person isn’t an option, virtual sessions are an easy, effective way to get professional guidance. We’ll work together over video to troubleshoot challenges, strengthen your communication with your dog, and make progress toward your goals.
Think of it as coaching from your own living room: I’ll give you clear steps to work on right away, and answer questions as they come up.

I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots each month for individuals who need more flexible pricing. Available rates are $0, $25, $35, or $45 per session, depending on what fits your budget.
No proof of income is required, but I do ask that you be honest about what you can afford. These sessions are available on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority given to situations where training could make a real difference or help prevent serious consequences, like the need to rehome a dog.
If you're feeling overwhelmed and know training would help, but cost is a barrier, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’ll do my best to accommodate and/or connect you with helpful resources.
