The CCPDT Difference
Science Backed Training
As a CCPDT Certified Professional Dog Trainer I strive to be the best canine behavior educator I can be. All CCPDT certificants are required to maintain their credentials by attending educational seminars on an ongoing basis. This not only promotes a pursuit of knowledge, it also ensures that my clients are learning the most relevant scientific breakthroughs rather than being sold ineffective and inhumane techniques.
My goal is to help pet parents build stronger, healthier relationships with their pups full of compassion and understanding.

How I Can Help

Understanding and effectively communicating with your pup is challenging.
Puppy manners, basic obedience, behavioral challenges; at times it can feel like trying to open a lock with all the wrong keys.
Through modern, science based techniques, we can find the key to unlock you and your pups full potential.
Puppy Manners
Every pup starts somewhere and while working together I help you discover the most effective route to unlocking your dream pup. The most popular puppy-centric goals I’ve worked on include but are not limited to:
- Potty Training
- Mouthing
- Jumping
Obedience
From puppies to senior dogs, every pup can benefit from guided instruction and canine enrichment exercises. Using scientifically proven methods of conditioning, you will learn to shape your dog’s behavior and foster a confident relationship when handling your pup. The behaviors I’ve taught include but are not limited to:
- Recall
- Loose Leash Walking
- Door Manners
Behavior Challenges
Fear, aggression, reactivity, I’ve worked a wide spectrum of behavior cases and have learned to effectively restore confidence in many pups as well as their pet parents. These behavior cases include but are not limited to:
- Reactivity/Aggression
- Separation Anxiety/Phobias
- Resource Guarding
Initial Assessment
My consultations are where I assess prospective clients’ pups as well as discuss expectations and goals, both short and long term. This is an excellent spot to start if this is your first time working with a trainer, or if you’re interested in learning how my approach can help you reach your goals with long lasting results.
