Dog Training Services serving Columbus, GA and the surrounding area.

What We Can Help With

Potty Training Struggles

Accidents happen. We’ll help you create a routine that works.

Tired of cleaning up mystery puddles? We’ll help you create a routine that sets your pup (and your floors) up for success.

Biting & Nipping

Chewing’s normal—but not on your hands. Let’s fix that.

Those razor teeth aren’t so cute anymore?
We’ll teach your puppy what’s okay to chew—and what isn’t (like your hands and ankles).

Jumping & Overexcitement

Your puppy has a lot to say—and not a lot of impulse control. We’ll teach them how to greet, settle, and behave in real life.

Too much enthusiasm? We’ll teach calmer greetings.

Socialization Worries

It’s not about meeting everyone and everything. It’s about confident exposure and creating a dog who can handle the world with ease.

Not sure how to expose your pup to the world? We’ve got you.

How We Can Help

The first step is an initial consultation ($175) to learn about you and your puppy. During this 1-hour meeting, We’ll talk through your puppy’s needs, your lifestyle, and where you’re feeling stuck and determine which program best suits your needs.

How training works

Step 1:

Consultation

Let’s chat about your puppy, your goals, and what’s been keeping you up at night. We’ll pick the right program that actually works for your lifestyle — no guesswork, no cookie-cutter advice.

👉 Start with support from day one.

Step 2:

Puppy Training

Whether I’m working with your puppy directly or guiding you step-by-step, we’ll build habits and skills that last. We’ll keep things doable, clear, and yes — even fun.

👉 Real progress, without the overwhelm.

Step 3:

Enjoy Your Dog

Your puppy starts listening, your home feels calmer, and you both know what to do next. This is what teamwork looks like.

👉 Training that sticks — results you can feel.

F.A.Q

How do I work with you?

It starts with a consultation! We’ll discuss your goals, challenges, and lifestyle to find the best fit, whether that’s private lessons or day training.

Serving Columbus, GA and surrounding areas, I offer personalized training plans, ongoing support, and practical solutions to help you build a better life with your dog. You don’t have to figure it out alone!

What should I expect from you?

Expect personalized, reward based training that fits your dog, your goals, and your lifestyle. With over 10 years of experience and a CPDT-KA certification, I’ll help you understand your dog’s behavior, build practical skills, and work through challenges one step at a time.

You’ll get clear guidance, realistic goals, and a plan you can put into practice in everyday life. No cookie cutter programs or overwhelming homework, just thoughtful training and support to help you build a better life with your dog.

What areas do you service?

I serve Columbus, GA and surrounding areas, including nearby communities in the Chattahoochee Valley. Virtual training options may also be available for clients outside the local service area.

What age should I start training my puppy?

As soon as you bring them home! Early training helps build good habits, support positive experiences, and prevent common behavior challenges.

My puppy training focuses on the foundations for a successful life together, including potty training, socialization, crate comfort, and everyday manners. The goal is to help your puppy grow into a confident dog who can navigate the world with you.

How do I know which training program is right for me??

The best fit depends on your goals, your lifestyle, and how involved you want to be in the training process.

Private Lessons are ideal if you want to learn alongside your dog. You'll need to practice regularly between sessions, ideally a little each day, to help your dog build lasting skills.

Day Training is a great option if your schedule is busy and you'd like professional help with your dog's training. You'll still play an important role! Transfer lessons are required, and you'll need to follow management recommendations and practice with your dog between training days to maintain progress.

Not sure which option is right for you? We'll discuss your goals, schedule, and expectations during a consultation to find the best fit.

Do I need to be present for all training sessions?

Private Lessons: Yes! You’ll work directly with your dog during each session and practice between lessons to build lasting skills.

Day Training: Not for every session! I train your dog during the week, then we meet for transfer lessons so you can learn the skills and continue practicing at home.

I’m busy, can you train my puppy for me?

Absolutely! Day Training is a great option for busy schedules. I work directly with your dog during the week, then we meet for transfer lessons where I teach you how to use the skills your dog has learned. We’ll practice together, troubleshoot challenges, and discuss how to maintain progress at home.

You'll still need to practice with your dog and follow management recommendations between visits. My goal is to help you build on your dog's progress and make those new skills part of everyday life.

Do you offer follow-up support after training sessions?

Absolutely! I want you to feel confident continuing your progress long after our training sessions end. The type of follow-up support available depends on your program, and we'll go over those details before we get started.

With Day Training, you'll have transfer lessons to learn and practice the skills your dog has been working on, along with the support included in your program. Private Lessons include guidance throughout the program to help you work through challenges and build on what you've learned.

And what if a new challenge comes up months or even years later? You're always welcome to reach out about additional training! Dogs change, life changes, and new challenges can pop up along the way. Whether you need a refresher or want to work toward a completely new goal, we can discuss the best next steps for you and your dog.
