Book my 15-min chat →Most clients start bi-weekly or monthly, depending on your dog's needs and your schedule. You can keep set days/times or move sessions around each time.
At your home — I travel to you. We'll also meet in public, pet-friendly places (Home Depot, Tractor Supply, pet stores, public parks) when it's time to practice outside your house.
Up to 20 miles from the Hamburg Fitness Center & Camp (8540 Hamburg Rd, Brighton, MI 48116).
All dogs — any breed, any age, any size. Rescues welcome. I do not currently offer protection, hunting/scent, service/therapy, agility, or separation anxiety training.

No — I offer Homeschool instead. I work with your dog in your home during the day, then recap to train you when the program is complete. You keep the relationship, your dog keeps their routine.
Yes. Email or text, I try to respond quickly. Active clients also get access to free monthly group meet-ups for practice.
We work your goals, I demo the exercises, you practice them, and you get detailed written notes, with homework emailed within 1 to 3 business days.
