Offering online courses and private individual training

Do you love your dog but get frustrated with their behavior?
Do any of these behaviors sound familiar?

• You struggle with walking your dog? You are embarrassed because they bark or lunge at other dogs? Pull too hard and don't listen to you at all?
• You avoid having friends over to visit because your dog jumps up on everyone?
• You worried that they might run away if the leash breaks because they don't come when you call?  You are late to work because your dog won't come in the house after going potty in the morning?
• You have to repeat yourself multiple times to get them to comply?
• You have a perfect dog inside the house but have a completely different dog outside? They are so distracted it's like they have forgotten everything you have taught them?

Or maybe you don't have behavior problems because you just brought home a new puppy and want to avoid those problems.  You know that a stitch in time saves nine and you want to start them off on the right paw with a puppy class?

For tech savvy owners I offer self-paced on-demand online courses that cover a variety of training choices.  Full courses that cover the basics and single topic courses that focus on one problem area.  

I also offer private one on one training.  Private training is a great choice for dogs with special needs or dogs with behavior problems.  I will be teaching YOU how to train your dog by working with your dog and showing you how to do what I do as well as coaching you to succeed. 

I DO NOT take aggression cases.  If your dog has bitten a person or dog resulting in the need for medical attention or court ordered training I am happy to give you a referral to a trainer that works with aggressive dogs.

Prefer Private Training? 

Our first session is and hour and a half long.  This allows me ample time to talk with you and get a thorough background.  We will discuss issues and problems you are experiencing as well as your goals for training before starting foundational training exercises.

I believe that everyone, regardless of budget, should have access to high-quality dog training. That’s why I charge just $50 an hour for my services, even with decades of experience behind me. While other trainers may charge more, rest assured that my affordable rate doesn’t reflect a lack of knowledge or skill—it reflects my commitment to making training accessible to all.

I’m based in Northwest Arkansas and do charge a trip fee to help cover the cost of gas, depending on how far you are from me. This fee will be clearly communicated when you schedule your appointment.
If you’d prefer to skip the trip charge, you’re welcome to come to me or meet in a public location within my free travel radius.

Whether you’re just gathering information or ready to dive in, I’m here to help. Use this form to get started and take the first step toward scheduling private training sessions.
