I'm Karin, a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) and Certified Behavior Consultant (CDBC), a Mentor Trainer for Animal Behavior College, and a volunteer Dog Trainer for the Animal Care Centers of New York.
I offer customized dog training and behavior management primarily using reward-based, force-free methods in the comfort of your own home or through remote learning (video calls).
I'm very passionate about Early Puppy Socialization, and take pride in teaching Potty Training and Crate Training, Recall (reliable come-when-called), and alternative behaviors (e.g. dog rushing to a dog bed when the doorbell rings instead of charging at the door and barking incessantly).
The goal is for YOU to learn what training is all about so that (after you work with me) you would be able to train other dogs you may have in the future without necessarily having to hire another dog trainer.
Although training sessions are usually held about a week apart, once you sign up, you may contact me 24/7 for questions or concerns that simply cannot wait till our next session. That's certainly one thing that sets me apart from other trainers.
