In-Home Private Training

Highly effective training starts at home. I will travel to you and work with your family in your home (or other locations as desired), assess your goals, implement a training plan to help you meet those goals, and skillfully guide you and your dog through the training process with extensive follow-up support.

I have tailored training programs to work with your budget and required level of training. I offer one financial hardship scholarship per month to families in need. We all deserve well-trained dogs!

Day Training

Sometimes, we have a dog we love and want to help and a limited amount of time or expertise. I offer Day Training to those who need it: I train your dog during the week while you are busy, and then we meet once a week to transfer skills so that the humans in the household can begin working confidently with their dog. I have multiple day training packages and can customize packages for specific concerns.

Puppy Play Sessions at Growlerz

Over 40 pounds 9:00-10:00 AM
Under 40 pounds 10:15-11:15 AM

I am currently offering puppy socialization classes at Growlerz Seattle dog play-park in Columbia City every Sunday.

The first few months of our puppies' lives are a blueprint for their adulthood behaviors. Exposure to other puppies, people, environments, unfamiliar objects, and textures helps to set up your pup for calm reactions to new experiences in the future! Your puppy will learn bite inhibition, social manners, attention games, the benefits of relaxation, and dog communication skills. I will monitor puppy play and introduce you to tips and games that help to strengthen your bond with your dog and increase the quality of communication you have with your beloved friend. Bring your puppy in to learn and grow in this safe, supervised environment!

Please Note:

  • Spay/Neuter requirements are waived for these groups but please, no dogs in heat.

  • Preregistration required through Growlerz Seattle under Daycare and Group Classes. No walk-ins, please. If you are new to Growlerz you will need to set up an account online.

  • Up-to-date vaccinations are required. Limit 10 in each group.

Field Trips!

Our dogs benefit greatly from time in nature, the ability to travel in packs, and the joy of open spaces. I offer field trips to fully fenced Sniffspots near Seattle where your dog can run with a pack, take in a symphony of new scents, and remember that they are, in fact, an animal. We practice recall, down-stays, and waiting turns during breaks from exploring. Your dog will come home deeply enriched and very, very tired.

My Service Zone extends from south Capitol Hill/Central District to Rainier Beach, as far east as Lake Washington and as far west as I-5. Inquires for training outside this zone will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
