A Peaceful Life With Your Dog Is Possible.

A rude, overly excited puppy or dog who jumps on guests, steals food off the counter and lacks leash skills isn't fun to live with. For busy dog parents, I offer day training (I train your dog for you!) so you come home to a well mannered canine companion after a busy day at work. 

Is your dog reactive, fearful, or anxious of people, other dogs or new things? Do they lunge or pull on the leash, bark excessively, or can't settle? Living with a dog who's constantly stressed is draining - for both of you, but things can get better.

If your family is growing and you have a baby on the way or you are adding a puppy to a home with children, I can help your navigate this big life change so everyone is comfortable and safe.

I specialize in training dogs basic manners and polite leash walking and those struggling with fear and reactivity, as well as family dog support. 

In person and online dog training and coaching is available. 

With patience and support, your dog can improve and be a joy to live with.

I'm a certified professional dog trainer (CPDT-KA), Modern Energy Tapping practitioner, and Animal Communicator based in Corvallis, Oregon. My journey into compassionate dog training began after experiencing the harm that force-based methods caused my own dogs. I committed to a different path - one based on respect, understanding, and trauma informed methods rather than force and aversive tools and techniques. I specialize in working with fearful and reactive dogs, helping them build confidence and learn new skills in ways that feel safe for everyone. I also offer day training (I train your dog for you in your home!) for basic manners and leash skills and animal communication for all types of pets and working with families who have babies and dogs.
