Customized training to reach your goals!

Does your dog pull on leash or lunge and bark at other dogs? Do they jump on people or rush up, then bark like the person got too close to them? Do they beg for food? Does their behavior keep you from having friends over? Are you afraid your dog will bite someone or do they think the vet is going to murder them every time they have a check-up?

Maybe you don’t have a dog, see the problems others have and want help making an informed choice. Do you choose the cutest? The one running out of time at the shelter? The one sitting in the corner? The most popular breed?

Perhaps you just brought home your new puppy or dog and want help setting both them and you up for success and a long happy life together.

You want the best life possible with your dog, free of frustrations and worry. With The Force Free Way Dog Training, you will have effective, proven options that put you in control. And you will never have to resort to pain, intimidation or scare tactics.

I love helping people reach their goals with their dogs. I want you to have the deepest, most fulfilling bond possible and it would be an honor to assist you.

Sessions can be scheduled both in-person or online.

You can pay per session, or choose a Package. Packages give you a cost-effective discount and can be combined with between-session 30 minute video/phone coaching check-ins. Coaching check-ins help you fine-tune your training so positive change happens as quickly and efficiently as possible.

 

PACKAGES:

I often talk with new clients who tried working with a dog trainer and did not see the change they wished for.

Lasting behavior change takes a combination of a good client-trainer fit, instruction and support, and using techniques that are kind and effective. It also takes perseverance and time.

I want to make sure you get what you need to make change happen. That is why I recommend getting a package. Discounted training sessions and between-session video coaching set you and your dog up for success.
