Dog training that's fun for you and your Dog

Dog Trainer.

My story. , Dog Behavioral Consult & Dancer

It takes 2 to Tango!

After 25 years as a top competitive Ballroom & Latin dancer/teacher. I found my calling. Helping people by training their dogs! 

Dog's are positive by nature and want to please their owners. If yours needs help I am here for you. If yours has lost its way I will get them back on track. 

Where I differ from other trainers is in my ability to communicate with owner's and their dogs to ensure the owner gets exactly what they need from their dogs. Most dog trainers are great at training dogs but not so great when training people. If your dog only performs for the trainer your money was not well spent!

I am different from them.

In 2000 I was ranked Top Dance Teacher in the USA for The Dancer's Cup Circuit.  In 2009 I was ranked 2nd place. I have spent 25 years teaching the most difficult movements & patterns to my many students & dance partners around the world.

I teach humans and dogs to partner each other just like a dance. I train you both.

I do private lessons, video lessons, phone consultations and board and trains.

No matter how we choose to train your dogs. I will make sure you have the knowledge & skills to keep your dog improving even when I am not there!

"A spoon full of honey will catch more flies than a gallon of vinegar."

The same is true in dog training. Negativity and unnecessary corrections break down your dog. Your goal should be always to build the confidence of your dog while getting the behaviors you want. Only if absolutely necessary should your dog be given a correction and it must always be done fairly and in a way your dog understands. The way I train I make sure positive reinforcement is at minimum double the frequency of any correction. 

This guarantees your dogs will love training with you and love their new behaviors.

It is unacceptable to make any dog fearful.

This type of positive training also ensures fearful dogs become confident dogs. Aggressive dogs learn not to be triggered and puppies grow up to be well adjusted loving members of the family.
