It is with great sorrow to say my beloved Chico has passed.  With near-zero training and aggressive social issues when I adopted him at the age of 7, Chico left us as the model of good dog behavior and citizenship at the age of 14 on May 5, 2012.   I am forever grateful to Chico, I would not be the trainer I am today if not for him.  Thank you Chico, you are on the trail with me always.

About the Trainer 

Hi.  I grew up in a small farming community primarily working with horses and cows as well as the usual parade of dogs, cats, rabbits and wildlife.   I have worked for a veterinarian, have completed a first aid course and am certified both as a dog trainer and a dog trainer mentor.  The mentorship is not currently available nor do I have facilities at this time for indoor class training.   Stay tuned.

I provide private training in the home, setting you up for success from the get-go.  We work in public settings to provide socialization skills in natural settings, dogs and their owners are placed in situations they can handle.  See “Said and Done” in the Stories section for comments from clients.

Call or write any time; the email link is at the bottom of the page.  Private training allows for flexible scheduling times, we can work something to fit your schedule.  Thanks and have a great day.

Are you wanting an opportunity to have a group training session without the high cost course that requires a commitment to a six or eight week stretch?  Are you wanting to be more comfortable when walking your dog in public?  Take this opportunity to have an experienced trainer help you and your dog in a casual outdoor group class setting.

Group walks are now available with a maximum four dogs per walk, $20 per dog and owner. Walks will be in local off-leash parks for one hour and dogs will be kept on leash until they prove themselves able to follow basic commands.  Owners will be given instruction to help improve their pet's etiquette and socialization skills by learning how to read and speak dog body language and what to do next. 

Write or call to reserve your spot.

See you at the park! 

Closed for Holidays July 21 - Aug 6
