Struggling With a Stressed Out, Fearful or Reactive Dog?
Transform Your Out of Control, Barking & Lunging Dog Into a Dog That is a Joy to Live With
I help overwhelmed dog parents who are exhausted by their dog's reactivity, fear, and anxiety achieve calm, confident dogs. Using positive training methods that focus on creating safety and trust, I work with dogs who bark, lunge, pull on leash, can't settle, or struggle with fear of people, dogs, or new situations. Whether you're in Corvallis or anywhere in the world, support is available online and in-person.
Why Online Dog Training Works
Minimizing Stress For You & Your Dog
You don't need a trainer in your living room to see real results. In fact, for dogs with fear of people or strong reactions to visitors, online training reduces stress from the start. I don't need to see your dog freak out to understand how to help - we minimize stress, not create more of it. Online coaching gives you personalized guidance tailored to your dog's specific challenges - reactive behavior, fear, anxiety, leash pulling - all from the comfort of your home. No commute, no group classes with stressed dogs, just focused support for you and your dog at a pace that fits your life. Plus, you can train in the real environments where your dog struggles most: your neighborhood, your home, your daily routine.

Does This Sound Like Your Dog?
Is Your Dog "Over the Top," "Uncontrollable," "Embarrassing" "Stubborn"?
Is your dog struggling with:
- Leash pulling, lunging, or reactivity toward dogs or people
- Excessive barking or whining
- Fear of new people, dogs, or places
- Inability to settle or lack of focus
- Overexcitement and jumping on people
- Anxiety or stress in everyday situations
- All of the above
You're not alone. These behaviors are exhausting - for your dog and for you. The constant stress, the dread before walks, avoiding visitors, feeling embarrassed or isolated. It takes a toll.
Here's what most people don't realize: these aren't "training problems" in the traditional sense. They're emotional problems caused by stress. And when we address your dog's stress through compassionate, science-based methods, their behavior transforms, they are more capable of learning and improving - and so does your quality of life.
What Makes This Approach Different
These problems don't just get better over time.
Without intervention, challenging behaviors often get worse and become harder to change. The sooner you address your dog's fear, reactivity, or anxiety, the easier it is to help them - and the sooner you both get relief.
For Your Dog: Stress-reduction comes first. A stressed, fearful, or overwhelmed dog can't learn effectively. My training methods focus on reducing your dog's anxiety and building their confidence so real progress can happen.
For You: Because this journey is hard on you too. Living with a reactive, fearful, or out-of-control dog affects your nervous system. That's why tapping support is included in coaching programs - simple techniques to help you stay calm and grounded when your dog is triggered.
