Dog Training Classes

ADA certified 5-star Dog Trainer offering in-home dog training services to West chester & Cincinnati area


So, ahem…maybe your dog is a bit of a menace from time to time, eh?

What if you could be in tune with your dog’s body language so well you could help your pup make good decisions time & time again?

The first thing I learned about dogs is their incredible capacity for love. They forgive unconditionally, enjoy life’s moments as they come, and display an uncanny ability to forgive & move on.

Regardless of where you are in your dog training journey, one thing is certain.

To your dog, you are the greatest thing on earth.

And, your dog shows you that every day you come home.

Without hesitation.

But like any relationship, the one with your dog doesn’t come in a perfect package.

Or, without challenges.

It’s not effortless.

And let’s face it. It’s no small task to be fully responsible for your dog’s mental and physical wellness for years to come.

With that said, you don’t have to do it alone.

I will help you overcome common dog behavior problems & housetraining issues fast. And not only that, you will learn the fundamental dog principles that will help you build an everlasting bond with your dog so you can thrive together, have fun, and live peacefully as a family unit.

The truth is that when it comes to dog training everything you do is connected. And respect is a huge part of the equation. Your dog must learn to understand you and you must learn to understand your dog’s animal nature.

Having a dog should be a joyous part of your life. And, an investment into building a strong bond with your dog early on is worth every penny.

Just ask yourself, “Are you turning your dog’s bad behavior into a raging habit without realizing it? And, how much is living in harmony with your dog really worth to you right now?”

I have crafted four customized dog training bundles. Check them out below to see which one is the right fit for you right now!

Or, you can start by scheduling a free phone consultation to evaluate your dog's current status and create a goal map that will set you up for success. Ready?

 

essential dog training bundle


The Essential Bundle is a perfect dog training package for you if you are a new puppy owner or if you have recently rescued a dog who is lacking some basic obedience skills. This time is critical for your dog because proper obedience training, socialization and trust building are the foundational skills you need to turn your dog into a loyal, obedient and happy companion for life.

The Essential Bundle features four 2 hour sessions for a total of 8 dog training hours.  While we address many common problems during this bundle, each one is customized to your key needs.

During the Essential Bundle dog training, I will help you master the following:

  • Basic obedience such as sit, down, come, heel, stay, and shake

  • Loose leash walking

  • House breaking

  • Jumping

  • Nipping/Biting

  • Barking

  • Destroying things around house/chewing

  • Running away

Your dog will learn what it means to respect your personal space including your home and your guests.

I will teach you the necessary skills you need to calmly and effectively communicate with your dog using energy and body language to get compliance every time.

But that's not all.

This next part is the key most dog owners miss.

I will help you set up a structure and schedule in your home that fosters puppy growth, training and obedience that develops your dog into a well-trained, balanced and respectful companion. Your dog will get super familiar with puppy do's and don'ts.

Think preventative training to most common dog problems. That way you can avoid serious issues such as separation anxiety, food guarding, toy guarding, and aggression before they occur. 

Please note that leash walking is emphasized in each bundle because it serves as the cornerstone for developing a leader/follower bond.

Are you ready to get started with the Essential Dog bundle, so you can cultivate the relationship between you and your best friend built on trust?

A few days later, Tuesday quietly crossed our apartment as I read a book and, after a nudge against my arm, put his head on my lap. As always, I immediately checked my mental state, trying to assess what was wrong. I knew a change in my biorhythms had brought Tuesday over, because he was always monitoring me, but I couldn’t figure out what it was. Breathing? Okay. Pulse? Normal. Was I glazed or distracted? Was I lost in Iraq? Was a dark period descending? I didn’t think so, but I knew something must be wrong, and I was starting to worry...until I looked into Tuesday’s eyes. They were staring at me softly from under those big eyebrows, and there was nothing in them but love.
