The Embodied Approach
What’s the How?
-
Reward-Based, Positive Reinforcement Dog Training
We prioritize positive reinforcement, a scientifically proven approach that encourages desired behaviors through rewards. This method promotes a joyful and cooperative learning environment for your canine companion.
-
Office Hours
“Office Hours” is conducted on Slack, where you can send video recordings of your training sessions and get feedback in between sessions. Office hours help keep communication lines open, especially for those dealing with difficult and sometimes emotionally draining behaviors with their dogs. My goal is to support you throughout your entire training experience with your dog.
-
Safe and Judgement-Free Training Environment
Creating a safe and judgment-free space is crucial for effective learning. We ensure that both you and your dog feel comfortable and supported throughout the training process. Our goal is to make training a fun and rewarding experience for everyone involved.
Personalized 1:1 Training
$125/hour session
This is our more traditional dog training style lesson. You can schedule one lesson at a time at your convenience. During your lesson, we review your training goals and how to best work with your specific dog. I will provide homework for you to practice, and when you are ready, you can schedule another follow-up appointment. We will map out an individualized training plan, provide homework exercises and troubleshooting, and a detailed summary of our lesson and how to implement it. This service is offered virtually or in person.
Recommended for: First-time clients who do not want to commit to an entire program…yet. Former clients who would like a refresher and/or would prefer less “hand-holding” support.
Walk & Train
$90/hour (when purchased individually)
Busy schedule? I get it. Sometimes, our dogs need more time from us than we can provide EVERY SINGLE DAY. That’s where I come in. Walk & Trains are offered to clients who have done training with me and would like additional weekly support, OR who have been preapproved for this service. I will come to your home, walk your dog, and work on our training exercises while you continue to do life. Walk & Trains are one hour each and can be purchased in packages of 5 for 5% off or 10 for 10% off! This helps maintain a consistent schedule for you, me, and your dog!
Not a current client, but need a dog walker? Reach out and see how I can support you!
