Personalized & Fun Virtual Dog Training

Are you looking for customized, one-on-one dog training from the comfort of your home? You’re in the right place! I’ve been a professional positive dog trainer since 1998 and have been offering virtual training since 2013. Whether you need help with behavior issues, basic training, or just fun ways to engage your dog, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

Why Choose Virtual Training?

After many years of in-person training, I know that real progress happens at home, where your dog feels safe and comfortable. With my tailored approach and ongoing support through Skype, phone, video tutorials, and training feedback, we’ll work together to improve your dog’s behavior and strengthen your bond.

My training goes beyond basic obedience. As an advocate for raising pets naturally, I can also help with:
✔️ Choosing the best foods and DIY recipes
✔️ Safe and engaging dog toys
✔️ Canine massage and enrichment games
✔️ Natural remedies and holistic dog care

My Approach

✔️Positive reinforcement methods that are science-based, effective, and nurturing
✔️ Customized training plans for your dog’s personality and needs
✔️ Natural solutions for behavior and well-being
✔️ Step-by-step support and video feedback
✔️ A deep understanding of dogs, their emotions, and what drives behavior.

Tailored Training for Your Dog’s Needs

Every dog, and every family, is unique. My goal is to ensure you and your dog feel confident and motivated throughout the training process. Whether you’re navigating puppy training, reactivity, separation anxiety, or simply want to teach fun tricks, I’ll create a training plan designed just for you.

If you’re not comfortable with technology, don’t worry! Phone sessions are available, and I can guide you on how to send videos for feedback. You’re never alone in this process.
