What I Offer

I specialize in private, one-on-one training for puppies under one year old. My training focuses on building good manners, confidence, and basic obedience using positive, effective methods. My goal is to set puppies up for lifelong success while supporting pet parents every step of the way. I also provide reliable in-home drop-in visits to care for your dog or cat while you’re away, ensuring they stay safe, comfortable, and well-loved in their own environment.

  • Base Price Per 1 hour Session - $85.00

    My private training sessions are designed specifically for puppies under one year old, focusing on creating strong foundations for good behavior and confidence. Each session is customized to your puppy’s age, temperament, and your household’s needs, so training feels practical and realistic for everyday life. I use positive, force-free methods that build trust, encourage learning, and make training fun for both puppies and their owners.

    During our sessions, we work on essential skills such as basic obedience (sit, down, come, leave it, leash manners), house training support, impulse control, and proper socialization habits. I also help address common puppy challenges like biting, jumping, chewing, and separation anxiety. Beyond just training your puppy, I coach you as the owner so you feel confident, consistent, and empowered to continue training between sessions.

  • Per Session - $65

    These 45-60 minute virtual sessions are conducted via Zoom or Facetime and are designed to give you clear, practical guidance. Each session is packed with tips, techniques, and step-by-step instruction to help you confidently raise your puppy. I’ll demonstrate exercises with my own dog when helpful, and provide ongoing support so you leave with a solid plan and a better understanding of your puppy’s needs.

  • Base 30 minute drop in- $21.00

    Base 60 minute drop in- $31.00

    My in-home drop-in visits are designed to keep your dog of any breed, age, size, and temperament comfortable, safe, and stress-free while you’re away. Instead of being boarded in an unfamiliar environment, your pet stays in their own home with their normal routine, surroundings, and smells. During each visit, I provide personalized care that includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and any needed medication or special instructions. I take time to give your dog attention and affection so they don’t just feel cared for — they feel genuinely looked after.

    I also prioritize your peace of mind by sending updates, photos, or videos during visits so you can see how your dog is doing while you’re gone. Whether you’re away for a long workday, a weekend trip, or an extended vacation, my goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel relaxed and confident in the care being provided.

She worked 1:1 with her and taught my girl to go to the back door when she needs to go potty, she helped with crate training & learning basic manners when in public.
