Complicated dogs. Committed humans.

Private Behavior Training

Behavior challenges can feel like wandering through a forest without a path: uncertain, overwhelming, and hard to navigate alone. But with grounded guidance and a plan that honors your dog’s needs and your goals, transformation is possible.

I offer one-on-one training designed to help you move from chaos to clarity, using humane, evidence-informed methods that center safety, connection, and real-life progress.

Why choose private training?

Some dogs need more than standard training approaches. Private sessions give us the space to slow things down, bring important details into focus, and work in a way that respects your dog’s history and your household’s reality. Whether we meet virtually or in person, you’ll receive clear guidance, compassionate coaching, and practical tools designed to help you see what’s happening and make informed next steps.

I work with families navigating some of the most challenging behavior cases, including aggression, intense fear, and dogs with long histories of unsuccessful training. My background includes years in shelter behavior and close collaboration with veterinary behaviorists, which allows me to support cases that require deeper assessment, careful coordination, and nuance. This work isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about clarity, safety, and steady progress when the path forward feels hard to see.

Services

Virtual Behavior Training

Wherever you are, we can connect. These one-on-one video sessions are personalized, convenient, and deeply effective. Virtual training gives us the flexibility to address your dog’s behavior in context and avoid adding stress to the environment, with the same thoughtful guidance and support you’d receive in person.

In-Person Behavior Training

If you're in the West Denver area, I offer in-home sessions that bring the work right to your doorstep. By addressing behavior challenges in the spaces where they actually happen, we can develop practical, real-world solutions that fit your daily life.

The Work We Do Together

You don’t need to figure this out alone. With over two decades of experience, I’ve worked with dogs facing all kinds of challenges - and the humans trying to help them through it. Together, we’ll take steady steps toward something better.
