Emergency Consultation

Hands-on training, built around your dog.

These three start with a short application so I can make sure we’re a good fit. After you apply, I review it and email you a contract and pre-paid invoice — both completed within 48 hours.

What we use instead

We don’t reach for the hard tools.

Force-free isn’t about taking things away — it’s about better tools that actually teach. A few of the trades we make:

Instead ofWe use
Shock & "tone" collars
Marker training that tells your dog "yes"
Prong & choke collars
Loose-leash games that make walks fun
Alpha rolls & dominance
Reading body language, building trust
Invisible fences
A recall your dog actually wants to answer

If you’re using something on the left, that’s okay — it’s where many wonderful dogs start. Reaching out is just the first trade.

“Our anxious dogs deserve empathy and compassion, not shock or the threat of being shocked.” — Dr. Theresa DePorter, DVM, Veterinary Behaviorist

Not sure which fits?

That’s exactly what the $35 Pre-Training Chat is for. Tell me about your dog and we’ll figure it out together.
