In-Home Dog Training
Charlotte, NC
Owner focused dog training & coaching designed to help you and your dog feel confident and connected in real life
Whether we're building a puppy's foundation, working through an everyday behavior problem, or taking your dog's reliability to the next level, my coaching is designed around the relationship, skills, and communication you'll use long after our sessions are over.
Real Coaching
Real Life
Real Results
✓ We Start Where You Are
We'll talk about your dog's behavior, your goals, concerns and what your daily actually looks like. Then we build from there.
✓ I Coach You Hands-On, In-Home
In every session I'm working with your dog while coaching you through the handling, timing, and what to look for. You practice with me right there so by the time I leave you already know what to do.
✓ The Training Sticks
You'll get homework to practice between sessions plus direct support between visits. This isn't about perfection. It's about building something you can actually use for life with your dog.
Puppy Coaching
Crate training, potty training, the piranha phase, and everything in between, this program makes sure you're never navigating puppyhood alone.
We cover all things puppy, but more importantly I make sure you know how to use the training, not just how to perform the commands. The application, the routine, the understanding of what you and your puppy actually needs at each stage.
They're your future best good friend. Let's set them up right.
Private Canine Coaching
An experience that goes further than just training your dog.
Whether you've done some DIY work or had formal training previously, my coaching puts you hands on in your own training journey so it sticks.
Create a dog you can bring along with you, or maybe a dog that finally listens. Reactivity, house manners, pulling, or any other behavioral issues you finally want to address, we can work through it together.
It's more than sit and stay. It's investing into training that actually lasts.
Focused One-on-One
This is for the dog & owner who doesn't necessarily need a full blown overhaul, but needs that little bit of extra help. These sessions are designed to target one specific behavior your dog just can't quite kick. They are here to help troubleshoot behaviors, refreshing old skills, tackling something new, or simply just getting a new set of professional eyes on something that just isn't quite clicking.
This Focused 1:1 can be upgraded to a package, and is not for more serious problem behaviors like reactivity, resource guarding issues, stranger-danger aggression, etc. These issues require more in depth training packages or will be referred out.
once you're a BGF, you're a BGFF
Finishing a coaching package doesn’t mean you’re on your own, or even that you have to go through an entire coaching package again. Once I know you and your dog, there are more ways to keep practicing, get a little extra support, or jump back in when life gets… doggy.
group classes
Low-pressure group training in real-life environments. Different locations, different skills, and plenty of opportunities to practice around other dogs and humans.
tune-ups
Already worked with me and something’s gotten a little rusty? Book a discounted refresher when you need another set of eyes, a little accountability, or help getting things back on track.
BGF let-outs + day-trains
For established BGF dogs who need an extra break during the day. Potty, movement, sniffing, and a little reinforcement of the good habits we’ve already built together. Plus the option for extra hands-on training and real-life practice with me for dogs who would benefit from more reps between coaching sessions or after completing a program. Limited and application-based.
a quick note on pricing & travel
Package pricing is a starting point for sessions within the Charlotte 485 loop. If you're outside this loop, there's a $25 travel fee to cover drive time and mileage.
Your final investment may also vary based on things like behavioral complexity (bite history, severe reactivity) or additional training tools needed to set you up for success. But don't worry—we'll talk through all of this on your discovery call so you know what to expect.
Cash, check, Venmo, and Zelle accepted. A 3% processing fee applies to card payments
your best good friend is right around the corner
Leave the training apron in the Amazon cart.Training doesn't have to look like a costume: no need for clickers, treat pouches in every color, and no performing obedience in your kitchen for an audience of one.
Just you, your dog, and a way of communicating that actually works in your real life.

Genna is the best! She helped us first time dog owners so much with our six month old very sassy and stubborn doodle pup. Her trainings on leash etiquette, recall, and basic commands were so helpful. I was even anti e-collar at the start but she was so patient with us and fully converted us... We are so grateful for her and her epic skills! I would recommend her to any dog owner!
