My Methods
I use science-backed, positive methods to shape the behaviors you want to see.
More than just training, a lifestyle
Build Confidence
Building confidence is key to helping our dogs succed in the things we want them to do. While it's important for them, it's vital for you too! With a confident dog, they make your life easier by knowing what to do in new, unfamiliar situations because they have the skills to navigate it, with or without your help.
Build the Bond
Working through challenging behaviors, doign routine training, or even structured play helps create a lasting bond with your dog that surpasses your wildest dreams. The trust you foster through training and play can create a human-dog bond that lets you both accomplish your goals.
Create Memories
When you get to let go of fear and worry about your dog's behavior and ability to navigate new or strange situations, you can rest easy! You know that you can take them on that vacation, to the park, to the family gathering - without the drama. And no drama means positive, beautiful memories for you and your dog.
Who's it for?
My training programs are tailored to each client individually: the first-time puppy owner, the seasoned veteran who wants a fresh perspective, or the poor soul who's new rescue is struggling with their new life.

What You'll Get
Flexibility
Life gets crazy busy, you work full time, have to take the kids to school, go grocery shopping, and drop the car off for an oil change. When are you going to have time to go to a class for your dog's basic obedience?
All Adventure Tails packages have the option for in-home sessions or online, scheduled around you!
Training for Lifestyles
My training offers the ability to form the dog's behavior around your lifestyle. If you love being outdoors and hiking and need a solid recall, I can help. Love going out on the kayak? I can help your dog love it too.
I ensure training is done to suit your needs to make your life easier, and your dog's world wider.
Positive, Fear Free
All training is done with positive, science-backed methods that foster true learning. I ditch fear and intimidation and use methods that capture and shape behavior you want to see and in the process help build trust for you and your dog.
I also give you the tools you need to succeed after our sessions are done - with the option to always come back with any questions or new situations.
