Why You'll Love It
A happy, well trained dog is the key to a
peaceful home
A happy dog doesn't just happen. It's built with training, understanding, and patience. Without clear communication, unwanted behaviors can creep in, causing frustration and stress.
Here's the good news: with the right guidance your dog can thrive and so can you. Training is the foundation of a peaceful home where both you and your dog feel safe, secure and in sync.
How I can help
Whether you're just starting out or need help fine-tuning behaviors, I offer personalized solutions that compliment your lifestyle.
- In-Home* & Virtual Training Options** - Wherever you are, I've got you covered.
- Comprehensive or Specialized Programs - Whether you're looking for lots of guidance or a specific solution, there's a program for you.
Let's be real--raising a dog isn't common sense. It's a skill. And just like any skill, it's so much easier and less stressful with a professional to guide you.

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 :)"
