Frequently asked Questions
What training methods do you use?
I use science-based, positive reinforcement training methods that focus on clear communication, trust, and long-term behavior change. This approach helps dogs learn effectively without fear or punishment.
Do you offer dog training near me?
Yes. I provide in-person dog training in Richmond and throughout the East Bay, including Berkeley, El Cerrito, Albany, Kensington, and nearby communities. I also offer online consultations for clients outside the local area.
What age dogs do you train?
I work with puppies, adolescent dogs, and adult dogs, including dogs with behavior challenges. Training plans are always tailored to the individual dog and their needs.
How long does dog training take?
Every dog is different. Many clients see improvement within a few sessions when they practice consistently, but lasting results depend on the dog, the behavior goals, and follow-through at home.
Do you offer online dog training or consultations?
Yes. One-on-one online behavioral consultations are available and can be helpful for behavior concerns, training guidance, or ongoing support between in-person sessions.
