Gentle, modern training for dogs and their people
I teach reward-based, force-free dog training to families throughout the Boulder area. Using humane, scientific learning theories, I’ll show you how to shape your dog into a happy, well-behaved, and reliable companion.
When you foster the human-animal bond (through praise, food, toys, and other forms of positive reinforcement) in all kinds of real-world situations:

Whether it’s basic dog training or more advanced skills for off-leash hiking, having a good relationship with your dog makes everything easier – for both of you.

You’ll find many dog trainers out there (even in dog-crazy Boulder), so let me be clear about what I believe and what sets me apart:
Dog training should be fun and educational for both dogs and people, not a power struggle.
Dog training is far more about building trust than it is about instituting “control.”
Dogs learn our rules through socialization and training that bridges the communication gap between species.
We cannot (and should not) punish our dogs into behaving better.
I do not use or recommend punishment, corrections, or other aversive methods:

No leash corrections
No forcing dogs to “obey”
