Dog Training

Current services offered:

• Desensitization training - help your dog become comfortable with sights, sounds, and stimuli that scare them. I cannot accept dogs with a bite history at this time.

• Reducing resource guarding - both inter-dog guarding and human-dog guarding. Teaching your dog that they are safe, and building positive associations with approaches to their food.

• Basic obedience - sit, down, come, stay, leave it, and place.

• Leash manners - loose-leash walking, periodic check-ins, and waiting at crosswalks.

Because I use reinforcement-based training techniques, these are all risk-free for your dog. At worst, they get a little enrichment and you’ll get your money back if I am unable to provide the service promised.

Commute fees: add $20 if you live >45 minutes from the Mountain View Community Center. Subtract $20 if you are within a 10-minute walk of the MV Community Center.

We will go over what you have tried previously and I can make some educated training suggestions on how to address you and your dog's needs. This is a great way to see whether we are a good fit.

  • Me, you and your dog(s) will go through the steps of your individualized training plan. I will leave you with specific information on what to practice after I leave in order to work towards your end goals.
