About Star Dog Training
At Star Dog Training, I focus on the foundation of building a strong relationship and bond through the training process; it isn’t just about forcing your dog to be obedient or controlled. Focusing on what makes your dog look forward to your interactions and building value as its handler, will get you to the end goal more smoothly while allowing you to work through the bumps more quickly. Creating an obedient, happy, healthy canine companion is key. At Star Dog Training, I teach about Strengthening Trust to Achieve Results.
A key component in the training process is proper communication with your dog. I am training YOU more than I am training the dog. I’m teaching you how to interact and communicate with your dog in a way it clearly understands.
I am continuously educating myself to become better for you by taking classes and working with mentors. I tailor the knowledge that I develop to meet each dog’s personal needs. I create a personal plan to work with your specific dog, rather than fit each dog into one specific style of training.
With more than a decade of experience working with a variety of breeds, I have successfully tackled many obedience and behavior issues. My focus is on teaching vs just bribing your canine companion in order to eliminate unwanted behaviors and develop a life-long bond, trust, and growth as a team. Some of the things I can help you with are:
- Proper leash manners
- Leash reactivity
- Jumping on people, counters, or furniture
- Resource guarding
- Separation anxiety
- Submissive or excited peeing
- Inappropriate chewing
- Basic obedience
- Puppy training
- And more!
At Star Dog Training, the foundation and relationship is key. I will teach you how to develop a positive, balanced relationship with your dog that is tailored to the specific needs of you and your dog.
