Experience the Power and Joy of positive reinforcement dog training!

Barb is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) utilizing science-based training focused on how dogs (and people) learn. She uses the highest ethical practices in training – no shock collars, e-collars, prong or pinch collars. She embraces the concept of “No Pain, No Force, No Fear but instead helps create a relationship of trust with your furry friend.

Training is based on positive reinforcement and reward-based methods – this gives your dog the opportunity to make a choice in their behavior (and be rewarded for it!). It also strengthens your bond because you’re predictable

Training is focused on setting your dog up for success to help you see an improvement in problem behaviors and an increase in your dog’s skills. Using rewards based training speeds up their learning because we’re reinforcing everything they do right, which motivates them to keep trying.

Training is conveniently held in your home, providing your dog with the opportunity to learn in his/her own environment without distractions. Teaching you management solutions and problem-solving techniques which are directly related to your home environment can be remedied quicker also.

She makes training fun and uses dog-friendly methods that engage your dog’s natural temperament, abilities, and drives. When training is rewarding, dogs want to participate! They also learn more quickly and retain more, which is training at its best.
