  • Behavior and obedience are two vastly different aspects of a dog. I coach you through your dogs worst behaviors so you can manage them confidently and I teach the frameworks of obedience so that you understand start to finish what it takes to develop an obedient, well-mannered, balanced dog.

    In the K9Stenics Training Programs we empower clear communication and build a stronger relationship between owners and their dogs as we lay the foundation of clear communication and mutual trust while learning commands through structured training.

    Its not just about teaching your dog commands, its about engaging with your dog and leaning how they learn and unlearn behaviors and patterns.

    All of the basic commands are coached either virtually or in-person. Heel, sit, down, place and recall.

    We implement a series of repetition drills, engagement techniques, and lots of play in different situations and environments.

    My goal is to always build a confident sense of trust between humans and their canines in a multitude of real life situations.

    We practice new commands and behaviors in semi-controlled environments first to get the practice reps in then we go out and test them in real everyday, busy, unpredictable environments with high competing distractions and motivators. Because that’s life and I want everyone of my clients to be prepared for real life situations with their dogs. No matter the dogs behaviors or history. I am excited to start coaching you through it all so you can start enjoying your dog again.

    If you are committed and are willing to put in the work necessary to give your furry companion the best life possible, then you came to the right place.

    I look forward to you joining the K9STENICS Pack!
