Private Training Sessions
Dog Trots offers in-home, private dog training for basic commands and behavior modification. We will discuss goals, expectations, and how to modify your dog’s unwanted behavior and encourage desired behavior through positive reinforcement. Some of the positive dog training techniques I use include lure and reward, praise, treats, toys, and clicker. I am available evenings and weekends to accommodate your schedule.
Puppy Training
New Puppy? It’s never too early to start training your new pup! Give me a call to help you gain the knowledge and confidence you need to make sure your new furry family member is on the right track. I can help you with puppy manners, crate training, house breaking, biting, pulling on leash, jumping, and management.
Experience
I completed a 12-month apprenticeship in 2004 with one of Seattle’s most respected dog trainers, logging over 500 hours learning basic commands, behavior modification, and dog handling. I travel around the country twice a year to attend dog training seminars to stay current with evolving techniques.
Philosophy
Dog Training is about building a bridge of communication between human and canine. I use positive reinforcement methods to create mutual understanding, trust, and respect. I can also coach and give you tools to build a solid relationship with your dog and make it fun to incorporate dog training into your busy life.
