Frequently Asked Questions
-
How
does your one-on-one reactive dog training work?I start with a FREE 20–30 minute phone or video consultation where I learn about your dog’s history, triggers, and your goals. From there, I create a custom plan and we work together in real-life environments—like your neighborhood or usual walking routes. In each session, I coach you step-by-step on what to do before, during, and after a reaction so you’re never guessing. Sessions are structured, but flexible enough to adjust as your dog improves and gains confidence.
-
What kinds of problems can you help with?I work with dogs who bark, lunge, growl, or snap at people or other dogs, pull hard toward triggers, freeze or refuse to move, or stay on high alert at home when people or dogs pass by. My focus is on safety, clear communication, and building your dog’s confidence, while giving you simple, repeatable exercises to practice between sessions. The goal is calmer walks, fewer outbursts, and a dog you feel safe and proud to take out.
-
Is the first consultation really FREE?Yes—your first consultation is 100% FREE and done by phone or video, with zero pressure to sign up. During this call, I listen to what’s been happening, ask questions about your dog’s behavior and routine, and outline what a realistic training plan could look like. By the end, you’ll know if my approach feels like a good fit for you and your dog, and you can decide if you’d like to move forward.
