Training and Behavior Modification
Getting to the Bottom of Dogs with Behavior Issues
Does your dog struggle with challenging behavior issues that keep you feeling stuck, embarrassed, or nervous? I can help.
Behavior modification isn’t one-size-fits-all—every dog, family, and situation is unique. I guide pet parents toward real, lasting solutions by asking the right questions and addressing what’s often overlooked. With the right approach, you and your dog can move forward with understanding and success.

What is Virtual Training?
My virtual 1:1 Coaching gives you expert guidance from the comfort of your home—no stressful travel, no rigid scheduling. With years of experience and countless cases, I can gather key insights by reviewing videos of your dog, allowing us to tailor solutions to your unique situation. My live training and expert coaching ensure you and your dog can build skills in real time, and you’ll receive ongoing support via phone calls, emails, and texts, so you’re never left figuring things out on your own. This is a judgment-free space where I meet you where you are at, ask the right questions, uncover what’s missing, and help you and your dog move forward with confidence.
How virtual training works
- We meet weekly (or bimonthly) for a live training lesson designed for hands on training with you and your dog over Zoom
- You’ll receive the same expert coaching and immediate feedback during training, just as you would in person
- In between lessons, I help you stay on track by helping you troubleshoot via phone, email, or text
- Video review of your dog’s progress, or areas where you are getting stuck, is included with every training program
- I also provide training videos and lesson plans so you know exactly what to focus on
