Booking
Book a dog training consultation or repeat session using the calendar below!
Your consultation will typically be in the home. I service anywhere within an hour north of Saskatoon.
After booking, I will email you a training agreement and a behaviour questionnaire to help me better prepare for our session!
Payment is accepted via e-transfer or cash at the end of our session. After our session, I will send you a training plan that includes my observations and recommendations, as well as several step-by-step handouts for the skills we practice.
**PLEASE NOTE**: As of 2024 I am no longer taking separation anxiety cases. Here is an excellent online program.
NOT TAKING NEW CLIENTS UNTIL DECEMBER 2024. Here are some trainer recommendations:
Group classes: Saskatoon SPCA (great prices too)
Virtual trainers (great for reactive dogs):

https://dogtrainerlea.com/ (I have worked with this trainer personally and she was fantastic!)
***EXISTING CLIENTS PLEASE TEXT OR EMAIL ME TO BOOK A REPEAT SESSION***
I use positive reinforcement training methods. I focus on changing unwanted behaviours through desensitization and counter-conditioning. I am a big fan of teaching all of my clients clicker training!
Our initial consultation will be at your home. We will discuss the concerns you have in depth, then I will offer some training solutions. I usually teach a couple of behaviours throughout the session, and allow you to practice while I am there. Afterwards, you will get a detailed email recapping our session, and I provide step-by-step handouts.
Feed your dog less than usual–a hungry dog is ideal for training! Also have your dog’s favourite treats ready; pea sized treats are best. Dogs also learn best when their needs have been met—please make sure they have been outside to eliminate and physically/mentally stimulated before I arrive (walk, puzzle toy).
Dogs who are aggressive towards strangers need to be leashed and muzzled before I arrive.
