Before I was a dog trainer, I needed a dog trainer!

🐾Before I became a professional dog trainer, I needed a dog trainer!🐾

My dog at the time, Angus, was reactive on-leash to dogs and people. He had gotten into some pretty serious fights with other dogs in the home. He was TERRIFIED of moving vehicles. On top of that, he even bit me while I was trying to break up a fight between him and another dog, leaving me with 5 punctures on my forearm.

Walking him felt impossible. It was embarrassing and I felt SO MUCH guilt that my dog was struggling like this on a daily basis. I felt helpless because I didn't know how to help him.

But the reality was that I was doing the best I could with the knowledge and resources that I had, just like you are.

Out on walks, people would tell me that my dog shouldn't be allowed in public if he wasn't a social butterfly. They'd scold me for not training him better and I'd get dirty looks and rude remarks any time that I tried to advocate for him.

At the end of the day, I loved Angus, but he was mentally and emotionally exhausting.

And the dog trainers weren't all that helpful!

They'd show up for an hour, flood me with so much information that I couldn't possibly remember it all, and then they'd leave.

I would be on my own for a week or two until the trainer came back for our next session.

The problem is that during that week or two, I was left living real life with Angus on my own and I was running into obstacle after obstacle and quite frankly, I had no idea how to navigate those situations! So we'd make progress in our session with the trainer and almost immediately backslide when we were left on our own. It felt like we were just treading water and trying not to drown in all of the complexities of life with a highly reactive and fearful dog.

I know that there are a lot of dog owners out there struggling the way I did with my boy, Angus.

That is why I am now offering Coach & Train packages. These packages offer significantly more guidance and support than a traditional 1 hour in-person training session.

Coach & Train packages include:

✅️ In-Person Private Sessions

✅️ Co-Walks ~ we will walk your dog together and I will offer guidance and support through any and all tricky situations, so that you're better prepared and feeling confident going solo with your dog.

✅️ Coaching & Support ~ I am available via phone, email, messenger, text etc. to answer your questions and help you navigate life with your dog in between in-person sessions with me.

✅️ A customized training plan ~ This plan will outline things like genetics, training specific exercises, enrichment/mental stimulation, physical exercise, play/engagement, sleep/relaxation as well as a variety of life hacks to help you and your dog live your very best lives together.
