Private, One-on-One
Behavioral Training Program

Absolutely! In fact, I’ve seen even BETTER results by leveraging online methods. If you want more info about this, I explain it all here.

All clients start with the Behavioral Evaluation.  In most cases, this session is held online. If, after the evaluation, I believe your case would be better served by working in-person, I will make that recommendation. Most cases enjoy a better rate of success online, however - which is why my program utilizes that format. This is especially true if your dog suffers from anxiety!

Yes! I accept all major credit cards. You’ll receive your invoice through PayPal, and you can process your card there. You can also set up a payment plan through PayPal Credit, which will give you 6 months interest-free. (After six months, you’ll be charged interest.) 

Behavior sessions and separation anxiety sessions are held Monday - Thursday, from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. In-person sessions, day training sessions, and hands-on skills sessions may be held at additional times.

We use Zoom, which you can download for free on your computer from zoom.us, or on your phone from the app store. It’s free and easy to use.

You'll also need to be able to record videos of your training sessions for feedback. You can easily do this with your phone. You might find it useful to either get a phone stand or tripod (you can easily find these on Amazon for $25 or less) and/or enlist a helper.

Many of our clients have worked with other trainers before and haven’t gotten the results they’ve been looking for. If you’ve done any of the following -- E-collar training, board and train, basic obedience classes, or watched famous dog trainers on TV -- this training is fundamentally different. We go deeper, the training is entirely science-based, and there is an emphasis on truly understanding and partnering with your dog.

Treats are a fantastic tool for learning and may be an integral part of our training approach. They shouldn’t be the factor that motivates cooperation from your dog, however. Dogs are highly social creatures; this means that every dog -- even the most independent or willful -- is craving a partnership with a human. When you put in the work to create a strong relationship foundation, your dog will do his part and meet you more than halfway -- without depending on treats.

The majority of my clients see improvement after just a few weeks of focused work, and are satisfied with their program. However, every dog and every situation is individual.

Only you can truly answer this. Our methods go far deeper than standard dog training. When you work with me, you’re getting both my own unique relationship-based training methods AND the knowledge and skills of an internationally Certified Canine Behaviorist. There are only about 260 professionals with equivalent training and certification worldwide -- less when you consider the additional certifications I hold. Plus, what you’ll learn will fundamentally shift the way you approach working with your dog -- and you’ll be able to apply that to future dogs.

Here is what I can promise:

• I will be honest and transparent with you about the likely outcomes and inform you during the first session if I do not believe I can help you.
• I will deliver cutting-edge techniques based on the highest levels of current, scientifically-sound research.
• You will be fully supported and your questions will be answered. 
• We will use only methods that are dog-friendly, maximally positive, minimally aversive, and pain-free. I will never ask you to do anything that might damage your relationship with your best friend.

In return, I ask that you be in active communication with me, utilize all features and benefits (including online resources) made available to you, and follow the instructions I give you precisely. This is necessary to get the highest level of results.

No problem. I’m happy to help with any additional questions. Just reach out via the contact form here. Please be specific about how I can help you and I’ll be in touch soon.
