The deepest transformation in the shortest window.
Your dog lives with me and we work together — three hours a day of one-on-one training plus behavior shaping woven through every moment of the stay. The goal is accountability, freedom, and a dog you can actually live with.

Hard cases, handled with care.
Aggression and reactivity look different in every dog. I've had deep success across a wide range of cases — from leash-reactive to resource-guarding to dog-on-dog. We'll build a plan that fits your dog, not a template.
The same result as board and train — it just asks more of you.
Four lessons that, paired with real effort between sessions, can take your dog to the same place a board and train would. It's slower, but it builds a stronger handler.
A working vacation for your dog.
While you're away, your dog gets alternating daily training sessions and trail hikes. They come home tired, calmer, and often a little better trained than when they left.
An hour of training, or a real adventure.
Either a focused training walk or a multi-hour hike on a proper trail — your choice. For many dogs, this is the easiest way to start.
The real freedom you both want.
An off-leash dog isn't a trick — it's a relationship built on trust and clear communication. It's the goal of every board and train I run.
Your dog, there for the moment that matters.
I'll pick your dog up, bring them to your venue for photos (and the ceremony, if you want), then drop them home or board them overnight. A calm, trained dog in your photos — no handler chaos.
Help your dog love your little one.
A range of kid-focused classes — prepping your dog before the baby arrives, introductions after, and adjusting to toddler life. Smooth the transition for everyone.
Not sure where you fit?
There's no charge for a consult and no pressure to book. If another trainer is a better fit, I'll say so.
