Training tailored to you, your dog, and your goals.

No two dogs are the same, and neither are the people who live with them. Whether you're welcoming a new puppy, struggling with leash pulling, working through reactivity, or simply wanting a better relationship with your dog, private coaching is designed to meet you where you are.

My goal isn't just to teach your dog new skills, it's to help you understand why behaviours are happening, create a practical plan, and coach you every step of the way.

Every lesson is personalized to your family's goals, lifestyle, and the dog in front of us.

Is Private Coaching Right for You?

Private coaching is a great option if you're looking for one-on-one guidance with challenges such as:

• Puppy foundations and raising a confident puppy

• Loose leash walking

• Reactivity toward dogs or people

• Jumping, barking, and impulse control

• Recall and engagement

• Resource guarding

• Cooperative care (grooming, nail trims, veterinary handling)

• Door manners and polite greetings

• Building confidence in nervous dogs

• Everyday life skills

Don't see your dog's behaviour listed? Reach out! Every dog is different, and I'm happy to chat about whether private coaching is the right fit.

Where Do We Start?

Initial Consultation

90 Minutes | $180

Every training journey begins with an initial consultation.

During our first session we'll take the time to understand your dog, your goals, and the challenges you're experiencing before jumping into training.

During your consultation we'll:

• Discuss your dog's history, routine, and behaviour

• Observe and assess your dog in real-life situations

• Identify management strategies that can make an immediate difference

• Introduce two to three practical training exercises to begin working on right away

Following your lesson you'll receive personalized written homework outlining everything we covered, giving you a clear plan to continue practicing between sessions.

This session lays the foundation for all future training.

Follow-Up Coaching

60 Minutes | $135

Training isn't about fixing everything in one lesson, it's about building lasting progress over time.

Each follow-up session is tailored to your dog's progress. We'll review what's working, troubleshoot any challenges, adjust your management plan if needed, and continue adding new skills as you and your dog gain confidence.

Some families only need one or two follow-up sessions, while others enjoy ongoing coaching as they work toward bigger goals. Every plan is customized to your needs.

My Approach

Dog training isn't one-size-fits-all.

While I absolutely work with your dog, my biggest focus is coaching the person holding the leash.

My role is to help you understand your dog's behaviour, teach practical skills that fit into everyday life, and give you the confidence to continue training long after our lesson ends.

Every family learns differently, every dog learns differently, and your training plan should reflect that.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do lessons take place?

Most lessons take place in your home or another location that best suits your training goals. Follow-up sessions may also take place in parks or other public spaces as we begin practicing around real-life distractions.

How many lessons will I need?

Every dog is different. Some families only need one or two sessions to work through a specific challenge, while others choose ongoing coaching as they continue building skills. After your initial consultation, I'll recommend a plan based on your goals and your dog's needs.

Do I have to commit to multiple lessons?

No. There is no required package or commitment. You're welcome to book follow-up sessions as needed.
