Once You Book Your First Session
You'll fill out a short questionnaire about your dog, your routine, and what you'd like to work on. I may follow up by email or phone with a few more questions, so we get a consultation in before the first session, no in-person meeting needed.
Every session starts at your house, so your dog is learning in the environment where it actually matters.
During The Session, We Train Together
First, we check in on your goals. Then we get into exercises that serve those goals without overwhelming your dog, so they get plenty of chances to succeed. Where we train depends on your situation, whether that's your sidewalk, your regular walking paths, or somewhere public.
Afterward, You Get Your Next Steps
You'll leave every session with homework to practice and a clear sense of what's next, so the progress keeps going in the days between sessions, not just during them.

This is also where we cover anything I need to know to get in and out comfortably when you're not there, including gate codes, door locks, where your dog's leash and supplies are, and any other access or house details.
While You're Out, I Come By
You go to work, run errands, or just take the day for yourself while I let myself in and work through a training session with your dog. Meeting at your house doesn't mean we stay in it: we train what needs training, wherever it needs to happen, for as many dogs as you have. That might mean loose-leash walking on your street for one dog, calm greetings at the door for another, or practicing around distractions at the park with both.
Afterward, You Get The Recap
Depending on what works best for you, I'll leave either a written note or a short video showing exactly what we worked on and how we got there.
