Training Approach
What training methods do you use?
I use force-free, non-aversive, science-based training methods focused on positive reinforcement, clear communication, and management strategies that support real-life success.
I do not use prong, choke, or shock collars, or any training that relies on fear, pain, or intimidation.
What does “force-free” training mean?
Force-free training means teaching skills without using physical force, intimidation, or punishment. The goal is to help dogs feel safe while learning, which leads to better long-term behavior and confidence.
Services & Logistics
Do you offer dog training in Jupiter, FL?
Yes. I provide in-home dog training in Jupiter, Florida and surrounding areas, along with virtual consultations for clients outside the local area.
Do you offer in-home dog training?
Yes. In-home sessions allow us to work directly in your dog’s real environment, where behavior actually happens. This is especially helpful for leash skills, household manners, reactivity, and fear-based behaviors.
Do you offer virtual training, and does it work?
Yes. Virtual consultations can be very effective for many training and behavior challenges, including training plans, troubleshooting, and ongoing support.
Virtual sessions include a live video consult, written follow-up, and a brief follow-up call to help you stay on track.
Do you work with all dog breeds?
Yes. I work with dogs of all breeds, mixes, and backgrounds. Training plans are always tailored to the individual dog and household.
Can you help with reactivity or fear-based behaviors?
Yes. I work with dogs who struggle with reactivity, fear, over-arousal, and big emotional responses using humane, evidence-based approaches that prioritize safety and emotional well-being.
