Personalized training for you and your pet.

 
 

You just brought a new family member into your home and …

That cute cuddly puppy has suddenly turned into a little shark and thinks your hands and clothes are great chew toys. Oops! Your new pup needs to learn where the toilet is. Your new rescue has fear and anxiety and is having a hard time adjusting. Or your puppy has become an adolescent and needs to learn some better manners or needs more desirable ways to occupy time and use energy instead of eating your couch cushions or grabbing your socks and playing keep away.

Your new kitten likes to practice hunting skills using your ankles. Or you adopted a new cat and your resident cat isn’t as thrilled as you are. Or your dog and cat need to learn how to be comfortable together. Or your inside cats seem bored and you would like to enrich their lives with activities in the house or safe time outside.

If you need help with your puppy, new rescue, resident dog, cat, or bird,

you’ve come to the right place.

I offer private in-person and virtual training and group classes to help you improve your pet’s life skills and build your relationship while having fun.

What is Dog Parkour?

Dog Parkour is the best new dog sport that works for everyone.

Just like in human parkour, dogs learn to use whatever is in the environment as an obstacle course. It builds both fitness and confidence and is a great way to spice up a walk or time in the park.

You can also use parkour to have fun in your house when the weather outside just isn’t the best. It’s a sport you can play anytime and anywhere. It can be done by dogs of all ages and physical abilities. It’s never too early or too late to start. Give it a try… your dog will love it!
