I don’t have a fenced yard. Can I bring my dog to you for in person training.
I offer in person sessions at my studio in Gig Harbor and virtual sessions, I do not come the the home.

We begin with a virtual session. I do have location I can use in Gig Harbor, so as some point we can meet there. For now I begin with a Zoom session, where we discuss the issues and concerns and begin the training. These session are getting excellent reviews, check out the testimonial section on my site:)

Wonderful experience. Can’t recommend enough.
Excellent first session. Ann is extremely knowledgeable and provides great tips and options to correct and help prevent unwanted behavior. I’m excited to see how these sessions will continue to help my dog and I’m excited to use the helpful information outside of class. Thank you!

Ann Waterbury at Sound Dog Connection is wonderful! We adopted a large breed puppy from a rescue in March 2023. Our new pup was guarding resources, biting, and sometimes aggressive when touched. I knew that the problems weren’t obedience, but behavioral instead. Ann taught us methods to work through our dog’s issues and how to read her cues so we could respond appropriately to her needs. What we learned was how to be the humans our dog needed and that each game we played was a learning opportunity. Our girl is wonderful and we’re so grateful for Ann’s help. Sound Dog Connection and Ann are a big part of our success!
Nelly loves nosework here!
