What We Can Help With

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).

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.

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 ($150) 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:

Train Together

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.

Feeling overwhelmed? Let’s get a plan in place.

F.A.Q

How do I work with you?

It starts with a consultation! Whether you're overwhelmed with a brand-new puppy or just want to make sure you're doing things right, we'll talk through your goals, challenges, and lifestyle. From there, I'll recommend the best program—whether that's private lessons, day training, or board & train.

I work with clients in Stockton, CA and surrounding areas like Lodi, Manteca, and Rio Vista. You’ll always get a custom plan, ongoing support, and a whole lot of encouragement. You don’t have to figure this out alone

What should I expect from you?

You can expect clear communication, kind leadership, and expert-level guidance grounded in real-world experience. I’ve been training professionally since 2017, I’m CPDT-KA certified, and I specialize in using positive reinforcement to solve everyday puppy struggles—from potty training to reactivity.

I don’t just follow a script—I assess what’s really going on and give you tools that fit your dog and your life. I’ll help you understand your puppy’s behavior, break it down into manageable steps, and give you a plan that actually works.

Whether we’re working in your home, your neighborhood, or your puppy is staying with me, you’ll never feel lost. I’m here to help you make sense of it all—and move forward with confidence.

What areas do you service?

I provide in-home dog training in Stockton, CA and surrounding areas within 45 minutes, including Lodi, Rio Vista, and Manteca.

Not sure if you're in range? Just ask!

What age should I start training my puppy?

As soon as you bring them home! The earlier you start, the easier it is to build good habits and prevent problem behaviors. My puppy programs are designed to guide you through those crucial early stages—potty training, socialization, crate comfort, and manners they will need as an adult dog that goes out in public.

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

It depends on your lifestyle and your dog’s needs. If you want hands-on support, private lessons are great. Day training helps when you’re short on time but want progress. Board & train is best if you want an immersive, structured jumpstart. I’m happy to help you decide during a consultation.

Do I need to be present for all training sessions?

Not always. In day training and board & train, I work directly with your dog during the week, and then we meet for coaching so you stay in the loop. Private lessons are fully hands-on with you present.

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

Yes! That’s exactly what Day Training and Board & Train are for. I’ll do the heavy lifting, then coach you along the way so you know what to do once your puppy comes home. Think of me as your training partner, not just your dog’s trainer.

Do you offer follow-up support after training sessions?

Yes, we believe in providing comprehensive support to ensure long-term success for you and your dog. After completing our training sessions, we offer follow-up support to assist with any questions or challenges you may encounter. Whether it's a phone call, email, or additional in-person sessions, we're here to help you and your canine companion maintain the progress achieved during training. Our goal is to ensure a harmonious and fulfilling relationship between you and your dog for years to come.

Contact us to learn more about our follow-up support options and how we can continue to support you on your training journey!
