Yes! I use moder, low-level ecollar training as part of all of my Stay & Train programs. When done right, it's gentle, clear, and builds incredible off-leash reliability. Think of it like a wireless leash or a newly built language - it helps your dog understand you from a distance, even when life gets loud and distracting

Not a chance. Dogs don't forget their people. They are always so excited to see them at the end of the program. But they do associate certain patterns with certain environments. This reset gives us the chance to rewrite some of those patterns with better ones. You'll be reunited soon, with a clearer path forward and a whole new toolbox.

That's the goal! This isn't about me showing off how great your dog is - it's about teaching you how to keep it going. The lessons with you are where the magic really kicks in. You'll get hands-on practice, real-life tips, and no pressure support from me.

I specialize in the family dog - the ones who live in your home, walk your neighborhood, and get into the trash while you are trying to help with homework, make dinner, work from home or put the baby down. I work with all breeds, personalities, and quirks - from wild and goofy to reactive and nervous.

You can, but just know that adolescence can be ... spicy. If you want full off-leash recall and a calm, responsive dog in the real world, we highly recommend following up with our Ultimate Family Pet program. The combo is magic.
