"Puppy Jumpstart Program"  

Is your puppy jumping on the family and furniture, destroying or stealing household items, and biting you or your kids with those razor sharp little puppy teeth? Does the house feel a little too crazy? Between work and the kids, it can be a struggle to find the time to get your puppy the socialization and training they need to be a well-behaved adult.
Let me set your dog up for success by imprinting them with the social skills and obedience training they will need for the rest of their life!
​
This program covers:
- Potty training
- Crate training
- Jumping
- Socialization (ignoring distractions)
- Coming when called
- Impulse control
- Sit/down-stay 
And more!

Includes 3 free private sessions

​
"Must-Have Manners"
​
Imagine the doorbell rings, and instead of your dog barking and slamming into the door (and your guests), you send your dog to their bed while you greet your company. Walking your dog shouldn't be a drag (pun intended)-and it doesn't have to be! The Bay Area has so many dog-friendly bars and restaurants, and having your dog lay down under the table while you enjoy a meal or drink by yourself or with loved ones is an absolute treat.
​
This program includes:
- Loose-leash walking
- Eliminate jumping
- Waiting at doors
- Leaving dropped food or items on command
- Coming when called 
- Sit and down-stay around distractions
- Going to a dog-bed and staying there until released ("place")
*All of these behaviors will be leash-trained; no remote/electric collar off-leash training included

Includes 4 free private sessions

​​
"​​Coming When Called Off Leash, Anywhere"
​
You thought you had a nice part of the trail to yourself when you took your dog off-leash, only to shortly see an owner across the way screaming "my dog is not friendly!" as yours races to greet them. You feel panicked and out of control.
Get in control, and let me help teach your dog to come when called,
regardless of the situation. Safety hazards like door-bolting, critter chasing, and running up to aggressive or unknown dogs can be eliminated with this one important skill.

​Includes 3 free private sessions

It's simple: Investing in a complete training program means no stress, no limits, and a reliable and well-trained dog who has more freedom and more life experiences with you and the family.

​Behavior Modification 
​
Does your dog bark or growl at strangers, dogs, guests or out in public? Do you get the sense that your dog is scared of other dogs, people, and or new environments? Obedience training and controlled exposure training can give your dog more confidence, and teach your dog how to behave around what makes them uncomfortable. You can have a fun, peaceful and enjoyable life with your dog, even if they "have issues!"
This program includes: 
Everything in my "Fully-Trained Dog Program" + specific behavior modification training 
Includes unlimited free private sessions
