For dogs who feel worried or reactive, we pay close attention to what feels manageable. We’ll help you notice your dog’s signals and support their wellbeing with patience and care.

Training can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. Call or send a note to request a free phone consultation. Start with realistic expectations, especially when your dog’s history is uncertain, and focus on one clear next step. Rather than relying on repeated “no” cues, show your dog what you’d like them to do and reward that behavior. For example, reward four paws on the floor or practice a sit when greeting guests. If your dog chews shoes or counter-surfs, thoughtful management can help prevent the behavior while you work on alternatives.

A Thoughtful Approach

A Foundation for Learning

My logo was designed by the talented, generous, and all-around amazing human being, Lili Chin. The dog was designed in the likeness of my dog Emma. I asked that Emma be standing on learning blocks to convey a foundational approach to my work with dogs. The lettered alphabet blocks (A,B,C), in addition to being classic children's building blocks, also serves as a science based acronym; Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence.
