what we offer for puppies & Dogs of all ages


​
  • Private sessions: Can include working with your dog while you are busy or traveling, and then teaching you how to reinforce the training.
  • Classes and 1-2 day workshops.
  • Travel-to-train: U.S. and Europe
  • Coaching and consultations: in person, phone, virtual.
Our work includes life skills training, socialization, enrichment, cues and the Tellington TTouch® Method.  We teach how to listen to dogs more effectively.  Supporting and strengthening a positive human/animal relationship remains always at the core.
My work is grounded in the Tellington TTouch method of training.​​ TTouch® recognizes the link between posture, balance, mental and emotional states, and behavior.  It utilizes mindful bodywork, movement and specialized equipment that: Reduce fear and release tension, increase body awareness, and improve posture and balance.  As dogs calm, their ability to focus improves.  They can then move beyond instinct – to act rather than react – and better learn new and more appropriate behaviors.  As dogs become more confident, they are better able to handle new situations and those that were previously frightening.

Success Stories
“The TTouch techniques I learned are a game changer for the dogs, either shy or reactive, that I’ll be working with in the future.  Outstanding new tools.”
