Frequently Asked Questions
What issues does your coaching help with?
My programs are designed to address real-life challenges at home, on walks, or at your favorite patio spot, including: Pulling on leash Jumping on guests Off-Leash Reliability Basic manners and reliable cues Reactivity work Confidence building for anxious or shy dogs Whether you’re starting with a new puppy or working on your adult dog’s behavior, you will gain clear guidance and practical tools for long-term success.
What methods do you use?
Do you use training tools?
I use a relationship-based, balanced approach to training, focusing on clear communication, calm guidance, and consistency. I believe training should be fair and clear for your dog while providing the structure they need to thrive. Yes, I use and suggest training tools that best fit your dog’s needs and your goals, including leashes, long lines, crates, and in some cases, training collars. Tools are not one-size-fits-all, and I will guide you in using them correctly to help your dog succeed while ensuring your handling is confident and clear.
Do you do board & trains?
No. I focus exclusively on owner coaching because I believe the training needs to happen with YOU, in YOUR environment, for it to actually stick in real life.
What happens after I book?
After you submit your inquiry, I will reach out to schedule your free discovery call where we will discuss your dog, your goals, and which program would best fit your needs. Once you select your program, we will schedule your sessions at a pace that supports your dog’s learning while fitting your routine. After a $100 non-refundable deposit, your personalized coaching kickstarts then. This deposit goes towards the total of your personalized training plan.
How long does it take to see results?
Most clients see noticeable improvement within 1-2 sessions, but lasting results depend on your consistency and follow-through between sessions. Training is a process, not a quick fix.
Do you guarantee results?
I guarantee high-quality coaching and support, but I can't guarantee specific outcomes. Your dog's progress depends on their temperament, your commitment, and environmental factors. That said, clients who do the work consistently see real, lasting change.
