Greetings Dog Parents! As a life-long dog and animal lover, long-term animal shelter volunteer (Berkeley Animal Care Services, Berkeley Humane) and dog walker in the East Bay (for about 6 years now), I am very excited to announce that I've recently graduated from Catch Canine Trainers's Academy (with distinction no less!) and am now a CCTA Certified Professional Dog Trainer! Using Positive Reinforcement/Rewards-Based/Force-Free methods exclusively, I'm now offering private training sessions in Basic Obedience Skills, Behavior Issues, and purely for fun, Tricks! For busy dog parents who simply don't have a lot of time for training, I'll also be offering Walk & Train sessions in which I do the bulk of the training. I'll still be offering the neighborhood dog walks and pet-sitting, so please feel free to ask about these services also.
(Click "Learn More" for an excellent article from the Humane Society about Positive Reinforcement training!)
In our Private Training Sessions I'lI will be working with both you and your pup, essentially teaching you how to teach your dog and how to maintain the new behaviors in the long term. Would you like your dog to learn Basic Obedience? Perhaps your pup has some behavior issues that need addressing - jumping on people, counter surfing, barking, leash aggression, pulling on leash, begging at table, nipping, resource guarding, separation anxiety, house training? Last but not least, and purely for fun - Tricks! When it comes down to it, whether learning obedience skills, good manners or tricks, good training is always fun for all involved, canine and human!
Can't find the time for training? No worries! I'm also offering "Walk and Train" sessions in which I take your pup out for a 15 min walk and follow that up with a 1/2 hour training session with him/her in obedience skills and/or tricks. Once the new behaviors are "installed", I'll meet with you and your pup in a private training session to transfer training responsibilities to you and to teach you how maintain the new behaviors. Minimum of 3 walks per week for Walk and Train sessions to ensure optimal learning.
I will be continuing to offer solo neighborhood dog walks and pet/dog sitting in the East Bay communities of Richmond, El Cerrito, Albany, Berkeley, Emeryville, Piedmont and Oakland, so please feel free to contact me about these services also. Group neighborhood walks available for residents of Oakland's Maxwell Park neighborhood.
In our private training sessions I will work with you and your dog on your choice of Basic Obedience Skills, Tricks or Behavior issues. Rather than me directly teaching your dog, essentially I will be teaching you how to teach your dog - I recommend weekly training sessions - this gives you a week to practice in between sessions. I offer a discount for packages of 4 and 6 training sessions (see below). Private training sessions run from 45 min to 1 hour.
Behavior consultations run from 1 hour to 75 min
A 15 min walk followed by 30 minutes of training in your choice of Obedience and/or Tricks. 3 Walk & Trains per week minimum. Minimum of 4 consecutive weeks recommended. Also highly recommended - once the new behaviors are "installed", we schedule a private training session with you and your pup to transfer training responsibilities to you and to teach you how maintain the new behaviors.
Solo 1/2 hour neighborhood on-leash walks (minimum 2 walks per week) in Richmond, El Cerrito, Albany, Berkeley, Emeryville, Piedmont and Oakland. Group neighborhood walks also available in the Maxwell Park neighborhood of Oakland.
In-your-home care for your beloved furry and feathered friends in Marin, Richmond, El Cerrito, Albany, Berkeley, Emeryville, Piedmont or Oakland. Three night minimum.
