 About MeABOUT MEA long time ago, in a far far away land... there lived a little girl and her Shetland Sheepdog, Preston.  This little girl saw a TV show with dogs jumping over hurdles and racing through obstacles.  Preston wants to do this right?? Of course he does! 
​
Spoiler Alert: Preston did NOT want to, but I worked as hard as I could to find other games he enjoyed!
​
I have since been working to identify what makes dogs click. What makes a dog want to run through a tube? Or jump over a bar? Or race across a field and bite a bad guy? How about what makes them understand their role as part of the human pack? 
​
I have spent upwards of 10 years studying canine behavior, different training theories, shadowing other professionals and working with dogs from all different walks to learn the in's and out's of how to motivate and work each individual dog.  Each and every dog is different, and I pull from my diverse experience to create an individualized, three dimensional training plan for them, instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach.   
 
My current personal dogs are my most valued co-workers and in return work hard for me. Sparkle holds a Masters title in Barn Hunt, an Advanced Trick Dog title, and NADD DN as well as her AKC CGC. Squirt is my current project pup and foster fail. He came to me with some behavior issues, and has won his spot in my home and heart... But I know someday he'll find his perfect people. Bowser is my sport bred pup with a promising future in nose work and other high energy sports.

Group Classes and Private Lessons are both available, though pricing for neither is currently published. The Private Lessons offering includes two options: a Basic Obedience & Manners program focused on foundational skills, and general private training for more tailored work. Session lengths and package structures aren't listed either, so you'll want to reach out directly for rates, duration details, and scheduling. Both program types would require a conversation to understand costs and fit.

How many private sessions will you need?

Most pet goals take a short package rather than a single lesson: puppy foundations often need 4–6 sessions, leash manners 3–8, and aggression or anxiety work longer under a behavior plan. Ask for a written session estimate tied to your goal, not an open-ended retainer.

Puppy foundations4–6 sessionsHomework between visits
Leash manners3–8 sessionsDepends on rehearsal places
Reactive / aggression8+ sessionsNeeds a clear behavior plan

When are private lessons better than group classes?

Choose private lessons when your dog cannot focus around other dogs, you need custom homework for your home, or you are working through reactivity. Group classes are better for socialization and affordable practice once your dog can learn in a busy room.
