This is a list of all the services I offer. If you don't see your particular problem or request I may still be able to help you, or direct you to another qualified professional. Please call me for more information.

Positive Motivation Method

I use positive motivation in all of my coaching because:

  • Rewarded behavior is more likely to reoccur
  • Reinforces what you want instead of punishing what you don't want
  • The training experience should be enjoyable for the dog and the trainer

In-home Private Sessions

With an emphasis on good manners through basic obedience behaviors for the pet dog such as:

  • Walking Nicely on Leash
  • Come When Called
  • Sit
  • Down
  • Stay
  • Go to Your "Station"
  • Leave It
  • Door Etiquette

Competition Obedience

I specialize in Rally Obedience - AKC and APDT rules and exercises.

Puppy Head Start

Socialization of your new puppy between the ages of 8 weeks to 16 weeks will help him or her grow into a well-adjusted dog that is a joy to have around and is a welcome community participant.

OWNER/DOG RELATIONSHIP * MANNERS * TOILET TRANING * DOG/DOG SOCIALIZATION * HUMAN/PUPPY SOCIALIZATION * ACCEPTANCE OF HANDLING * GROOMING * AND CONFIDENCE BUILDING WITH DIFFERENT SOUNDS, OBJECTS AND SURFACES.

Reactive Dogs

Does your dog bark, growl or run away from people, other dogs, or other scary situations? Does it seem your dog can't calm down? It may be that your dog is reactive.

Sometimes labled as fear aggression, these dogs need help to learn how to be calm. I give you the skills to help your dog know how to handle scary situations.

I also help with

  • Barking
  • Jumping Up
  • Kids and Canines
  • Off Furniture
  • Home Alone - Enrichment
  • Attention

 

From People We Have Trained: 

Troy is FANTASTIC!!! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to have their dogs trained by a caring professional trainer. My Copa and Lola look forward to her visits. It could be because when she is here they know it's treats for performance time! It is a great way to interact with your dogs and at the same time, keep them from getting bored. ~Tracyanne
Our two dogs are loving Troy and they are really learning alot. They love to go to school when she comes to our house, and they enjoy their daily homework, too. ~ Kristen Carr, Well Minded Pets

We are currently using Troy and LOVE her! More importantly, after just two weeks, we've noticed significant improvement in our dog's behavior. Who knew puppies could be so much fun to be around? ~ Christopher
