Understanding Dogs
Train with Solutions, Not Punishment!
I believe dogs aren’t giving us a hard time
—they’re having a hard time.
That’s why I focus on solution-based training that helps dogs make better choices in their everyday world.
My training style is rooted in positive, science-backed methods that avoid fear and punishment.
By teaching alternative behaviors that work for both dog and owner, I create an environment of trust and collaboration.
It’s all about guiding, not forcing, and making training fun, logical, and effective.
