Puppy training in Portland, Oregon

I coach dog parents in games-based, positive reinforcement training. As a certified Family Dog Mediator, I work with you to see whether your pup has problem behaviors or unmet needs. I’ll help you figure out what your dog was bred to do, how to give them opportunities to meet their needs, how to modulate your expectations for the dog you have (vs. your idea of what a dog “should” be), and how to help your dog learn people rules and navigate the world they find themselves in. My goal is to help you become more aware of what you’re communicating to your dog and to look for opportunities to reinforce the behaviors you want throughout the day, every day. Both in-person and remote services available.
