She is experienced, knowledgeable, friendly, and always providing explanations and different methods & games to try with our pup. Thank you, Thank you!!! Highly recommend"

Training that works for any breed!


From Labrador to collie, from chihuahua to mastiff, games-based training works for all breeds of dogs.

Playing games creates a stronger bond than you can imagine! You can create a dog that loves being with you, wants to come back to you and just enjoys your company.
