Leave it to a professional dog trainer!
Are you short on time, but still want your dog to get the training they need by a certified positive reinforcement trainer?
Day Training is a perfect solution for busy dog owners who need a little help!
I will come and train your dog twice a week while you’re busy with life. In addition to the training visits, there is also one Show and Teach coaching session with you and your dog, where I will go through what the dog has learned and teach you how to incorporate these new skills into your daily life.
To get started, we begin with a one hour in-home consultation to assess training goals and develop a customized training plan and schedule. Please book a Discovery Call for more information and to schedule a consultation.
WEEKLY DAY TRAINING: $285 Per Week (3 Sessions)
- 2 Training sessions with the dog and trainer
- 1 “Show and Teach” with owner/dog/trainer

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to be home when you come for the one-on-one training sessions with my dog?
That's completely up to you. I can train your dog while you're home or while you're out. This is one of the many reasons day training works so well for so many people. Whether you'd like to be home and watch the training process, or whether you find it easier to let someone else handle the training, it’s up to you. It's a win/win for both you and your furry best friend.
Is day training worth the added cost?
Although there is more of an upfront investment, day training is typically a faster training process. As an experienced and certified dog trainer you can rely on me to teach your dog the new behaviors quickly so you can start to practice and incorporate them into your daily life. Providing a quality training base, rather than starting from scratch.
Are you insured and bonded?
YES! It's important to me to be a responsible business owner, both for myself and my clients. That's why I'm licensed, insured, and bonded, just like many other service providers who may visit your home.
If I primarily use treats to teach new behaviors, will I always have to use treats?
No. Treats or other positive reinforcement such as praise, toys or releasing the dog to let them do something they enjoy are all things we use to help teach a new behavior. Once the dog has normalized the behavior we can then slowly fade out the reward. However, I believe strongly that rewarded behaviors are repeated behaviors, so I still like to give an occasional treat for good behaviors. Honestly, who among us doesn’t love the occasional cookie for doing a good job?
How long will the training take?
This relies on many factors. How long has the dog displayed the behavior? How committed are you to the training? What are the conditions in which the dog displays a behavior? Just like people there is no ‘one size fits all’. I create custom training plans to meet your dog’s individual training conditions and behavioral goals. We then work the steps together to see positive results.
My dog is stubborn and won't listen. Can you help?
YES! It might seem like your dog isn’t listening but what’s really happening is your dog hasn’t learnt that you are way more interesting than whatever else has them distracted. Have you ever watched a dog compete in agility or professional level obedience? It can look like magic to see a human and dog in a complete partnership. But I assure you there’s no magic involved. Getting, and keeping, your dog's attention is a learned behavior, both for the human and the dog. The great news is dogs LOVE positive reinforcement training and that means you’ll soon become sexier than the squirrel, or the enticing smell that keeps your dog from listening. From day one of our training together you’ll be laying the groundwork for fast doggy head turns and quick recalls.
