SWITCHBACK K9

We ask a lot of our pups in our modern, busy human world... which isn't always easy for them to cope with. Unwanted behaviors like barking, jumping, running away, even aggression can develop in even the best of homes and situations. This can be frustrating, disruptive, dangerous, and impact your relationship with your dog.

 

But whether you are looking to change an unwanted behavior, build a strong foundation in a new puppy, or just improve your pup’s known skills, I can coach you through the entire process!

 

I've been training professionally since 2014. Since this time, the importance of motivation-based solutions and reliable mentorship has become a cornerstone of my methodology. I follow up-to-date science in the field of dog behavior and cognition and applied ethology, and hold years of hands-on experience in multiple fields of pet care including grooming, boarding, daycare, and various sports. By focusing on understanding how dogs learn, building our relationship with them, and clarifying our communication, I've seen a happier long term outcome for BOTH ends of the leash.

 

Each dog is unique and training is never a one-size-fits-all quick fix. I tailor training to work with you and your dog’s unique motivators and learning styles. I also follow the CCPDT’s Code of Ethics, which ensures that all pets and people under my care are treated with respect and kindness.
