I believe in always training the dog in front of me and helping you understand how, like people, no two dogs are the same. In order to focus on your individual dog and your specific goals, I break down the process into three parts:
Bark.
It is a problem we want to solve. Whether it's jumping, stopping, or pulling on the leash, not coming when called, fears and anxiety, aggression, or incessant barking, we start by finding your dog's motivation.
Train.
This is how we close the communication gap between you and your dog. Most behavior issues can resolve by building a better relationship, motivational training, and behavior modification. Coupled with the right timing, consistency, and tools, getting everyone on the same page can be easier than you think.
Love.
This is what we all want to give our dogs, but there has to be a balance. Dogs thrive on structure, rules, boundaries, and clarity of communication. Physical and mental exercise and building a reward history of good behavior, I can help you develop a healthy and happy relationship with your dog.
Let me show you and your dog what Bark, Train, Love is all about, get started here.
