For most people, day training is the best place to start.

It allows me to build consistency with your dog during the day while still showing you how to maintain everything at home. It tends to create the most balanced, long-term results for the majority of clients.

That said, every dog is different. We’ll figure out what actually makes sense during your consultation.

That’s what the consultation is for.

We’ll talk through what’s going on, your dog’s behavior, your schedule, and what you want to get out of training. From there, I’ll point you in the right direction.

It depends on the dog and what you’re dealing with.

Most dogs start with a 4-week program, but some need more time and some need less. The goal isn’t to rush it, it’s to make sure the training actually sticks.

No trainer can guarantee results without your involvement.

What I can guarantee is clear communication, consistency, and a plan that makes sense. If you follow through on your end, you’ll see real progress.

Yes.

Even if I’m doing most of the hands-on work, you’ll still be part of the process. I’ll show you what I’m doing, explain why, and make sure you know how to maintain it.

That’s the only way this works long term.

It depends on the program.

Day training typically involves working with your dog in real-world environments and your home when needed. Board and train takes place with me in a structured setting. Private lessons are done together, either at your home or an agreed location.

Yes.

I work with a range of behavior issues, including reactivity and more challenging cases. We’ll go over the details during your consultation and decide the best approach from there.

I don’t follow one strict system.

I focus on clear communication, structure, and what actually works for the dog in front of me. Every situation is different, so the approach reflects that.

I’m based in Venice, CA and work with clients throughout Southern California.

If you’re not sure if you’re in range, just reach out.

You’re not on your own.

I make sure you understand how to maintain everything we’ve built, and I’m available for follow-up support if you need it.

The goal is to leave you with something that actually holds up.
