"It's the micro-mini moments that matter the most"  ~  
I've coined this because I've said it a million times it's always the small stuff!!  ~ BBDT

Training Together 
at your home

​I 100% use psychology teaching you dog so you can an show up for them creating respect and trust.
no matter where they are in their development or deep into unwanted behaviors.
​I train in your home it's the safest place & the most open your dog can be.

​I teach trust and become the bridge for you to walk across to build the same type of trust.

tools are for communication

Picture
Tools ~ Herm Sprenger 2.25 or small pinch collar
I use them for clarity of our leash communication
with the softest of hand
with feather like pressure
on the smallest lightweight pinch
regardless of the size of your dog
unless your dog warrants a larger collar though it is rare 


Picture
Ecollar ~ Mini Educator
This tool goes from 0-100
We begin on your dogs working number usually 4 or 5
On my bare arm I BEGIN to feel a stem on 9 or 10
We compound all the leash work prior
creating
clarity with minimal corrections
working to off leash recall as well as impulse control in situations. 



Corrections

I do not correct to get behavior, I teach behavior and correct once a dog knows the info and is making a choice.  A correction can be NO the word, a snap of the fingers, a low level stem or a pressure release on the pinch. I like to bring the leash conversation to a micro moment so we can whisper our corrections or at least meet the dog where they are so we can begin to try to whisper.  So I can guide to the appropriate choice and teach you to do the same.  Corrections are guidance we are always teaching building our relationship with our dog the ultimate goal is your verbal word is all you need to get there you have to teach what you want.   Dogs expect some sort of correction in life to keep know their place and keep the pack balance healthy.  They give corrections and warnings and when they have not gotten any kickback or corrections and start correcting their world more and purposefully it gets ugly and they're not wrong.   It's just dog.  ​

Outside influence

​
I also work with Doggy Day Cares
for there are times when a dog needs to be a dog and loosen up
We will never be a dog therefore balanced dog play is so valuable
as well as experiencing balanced pack energy
It fills a dogs soul for sure

​​
There are times when a dog needs to learn outside the home
​Because of large unwanted behaviors & personality indifference
Their definition of who they are in the home is too strong
I can absolutely refer you to a trusted source

 Additional Dogs
​There are times when I am called to work a specific dog yet there are more then one dog in the household.  Unless the dog is old or totally insignificant to the situation which is rare there needs to be balance in the pack.
