The Educated Dog
Training and Behavior Consultations
Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA), Certified Behavior Consultant (CBCC-KA), Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer (CSAT), and Family Paws Parent Educator (FPPE).
TRAINING & BEHAVIOR CONSUTLING
Whether you are raising a puppy, welcoming a newly adopted dog, teaching new skills, or navigating behavior challenges, I provide individualized training and behavior support tailored to your dog's needs and your goals.
My goal is not simply to stop unwanted behaviors, but to help you better understand your dog and develop the skills needed to succeed together. By understanding why behavior occurs, building practical skills, and strengthening relationships, we can create meaningful and lasting change.
Common areas of support include puppy foundations, manners and everyday life skills, leash walking, barking, jumping, fear, anxiety, reactivity, resource guarding, and helping dogs adapt successfully to life's changes.
SPECIALIZED SERVICES
Preparing families with dogs for life with babies and toddlers
Are you expecting or already have a baby or toddler? Don’t wait for problems to arise, work with a licensed Family Paws Parent Educator to set everyone up for success - including:
-
Preparing for your baby’s homecoming. The time to start is well before the baby arrives. Many changes occur both before and after delivery - including your daily routines, sleeping arrangements, baby equipment, and more - all of which can impact behavior.
-
Adjusting your plans as your baby reaches new milestones. These rapid changes in your baby's movements, sounds and visuals can be unsettling for your dog, and must be planned for beforehand to ensure safety, inclusion, and fun for all.
Separation Anxiety - Teach your dog to feel safe when home alone
Does your dog show signs of distress when left alone, such as destroying things, vocalizing, or eliminating? These behaviors can be extremely difficult for you and your dog - but know that there is hope. Work with a certified separation anxiety trainer (CSAT) to effectively resolve these behaviors through scientific and humane methods - all aimed to teach your dog to feel safe when home alone.
This program is structured in 4 week increments and includes weekly live assessments where I watch your dog on Zoom while you step out, daily customized exercises for you to complete each week, and daily feedback and support.
This program is done remotely (the dog needs to be alone in his own home), and therefore, I am able to serve anyone throughout the USA.
