Introduction

I work on a 'train the trainer' mentality, so that I give you the tools to continue to work with your dog in the future. I also believe in getting your dog right into the situations where you are having trouble. For example if your dog is aggressive toward dogs, we will meet in a place where we encounter lots of dogs. I do not feel that avoiding a situation will provide any benefit to you. I work with all breeds, all ages and all problems, but I also *specialize* in dogs with fear, anxiety and fear aggression. I work with many clients who have tried other trainers but have not had success. I love dogs and I love helping to build the human animal bond. Having a dog should be a wonderful experience, not a stressful one!

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

I don’t lock you into a contract but do have a 2 session minimum

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

I offer a free online phone consultation to better discuss your needs. If you are looking for dog board and train in San Diego in addition to a phone consult there will be a personal meet and greet to establish your needs.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I left a corporate career many years ago to follow my passion, working with dogs.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I train all ages, all breeds and all problems.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I recently worked with a client who has been dealing with her dogs aggression for years by avoiding the problem. By finally getting her and her dog amongst other dogs, I was able to show her how to control her dog in these situations, and build confidence in both of them.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Again, make sure they have enough experience. Many people waste money on trainers that cannot really help them with their dogs issues.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Sometimes you do get what you pay for. There are a lot of dog trainers out there who only are able to take a 'cookie cutter' approach. Dogs, like people, are all different, and you need someone who is very experienced to be able to tailor an individual program for you and your dog.
