Training for dogs and the humans that
love them.
Hi I'm Debbie, I provide dog training that’s more than just teaching commands (though I do that too!). I help dog parents understand their dog better—how they learn, how they see the world, and what you both need to thrive.
Through personalized guidance, I help you build trust with your pup while teaching them how to live in our crazy world. I offer training for new puppies, adolescent dog behavior and more with ongoing support so you always feel confident and in control.
And always remember to have a ton of fun along the way. These are puppies and dogs we're talking about!
Why You'll Love It
Transform feeling overwhelm into joy!
I don’t just teach you how to train your dog—I show you why each method works, making the process intuitive and rewarding for both you and your dog.
With over a decade of experience and a deep understanding of dog behavior, I help you transform what can easily become a frustrating task into a joyful, fulfilling journey.
You'll move from feeling stuck, overwhelmed, frustrated, and confused to feeling relieved and having fun with your dog as you both grow and learn together!
why it matters
A happy, well trained dog is the key to a
peaceful home
Proper training is key to ensuring your dog feels safe, secure, and well-adjusted, and it’s the foundation for a peaceful home. Without clear communication, your dog may struggle with unwanted behaviors, leading to frustration on both sides.
A well-trained dog isn’t just easier to live with—they’re happier, calmer, and more confident in navigating the world around them.
What our clients have to say
"Individual sessions with Debbie have been instrumental in helping my puppy"
"Raising a puppy is challenging. Not just for the black and white things like sit and stay, but most especially for the nuanced elements like potty training and crate training. There are things you can learn from a simple obedience class, and problems it takes the attention of a kind and dedicated professional to solve. Individual sessions with Debbie have been instrumental in helping my puppy, Bucket, to settle into and succeed at crate training. She even helped me to catch a UTI when his potty training seemed to be regressing. She has been excellent at examining my specific situation from all angles and providing support :)"
