Busy, hectic schedule? Not sure how to find the time for consistent dog training practice?
With so many dog parents in this situation, I take an approach to dog training in which I do the bulk of the training, thus minimizing the amount of practice that you need to do.
With Day Training, I come to your home and work with your pup in 1 hour sessions 2x per week, then meet with you for 1 hour once every week or two to give you instructions on any preventative measures you'll need to take, how to do the minimal amount of practicing that you'll need to do, and how to elicit and maintain the behaviors that I've "installed".
For your part, 5 minutes a day, 4 days a week of practice is all that is required. More is gravy! If you have the time :)

A devoted animal lover from the very beginning, I first became inspired to learn about Positive Reinforcement dog training while volunteering in the weekly training classes held at Marin Humane for the shelter dogs - the purpose of these classes was to help the shelter dogs become more adoptable. The dogs absolutely loved the training, and so did I - I was hooked !
In August 2024 I graduated from Catch Canine Trainers Academy and became certified as a Positive Reinforcement Dog Trainer. One of the top dog training schools in the country, CATCH offers an intensive 1 year program combining science-based theoretical studies with hands on training - all training methods taught by CATCH are rewards-based, force-free, and science-based.
Since then I’ve had the privilege and pleasure to work with East Bay dog owners and their dogs, helping their furry loved ones become the best canine family members they can be.
