1:1 Sessions

1:1 Sessions are where owners start their training journey. These sessions are tailored to meet the unique needs of you and your dog. During these sessions we will work together to address behavioral issues, build a strong trusting relationship with your dog through training, and focus on both ends of the leash. 

I'll introduce you to training tools and methods that fit your dogs personality and learning style. Ensuring you feel confident to continue practicing what we cover after the session. 

At the end of the session you'll have time to ask questions and revisit what was taught to provide you with the support you need.

Group classes

This class is designed for dog owners who want to build a strong relationship with their canine companion through clear communication, calm leadership, and healthy boundaries. Focusing on behavior over obedience, we’ll cover essential skills such as polite leash walking, impulse control, social manners, and fostering a calm state of mind.

Through structured exercises, real-life scenarios, and personalized guidance, you’ll learn how to nurture both ends of the leash—helping your dog feel more secure and responsive while deepening your bond. Whether you’re working through minor behavioral challenges or simply looking to strengthen your dog’s foundation, this class provides the tools and support to create lasting change.

All breeds and experience levels are welcome. Let’s build a balanced, joyful partnership with your dog!

Board and Train

My board and train is a wonderful way to get your dog a giant head start in their foundation. It's an investment in your future with your dog. Having an experienced trainer be able to work with your dog around the clock can provide them with the consistency, accountability, patience and guidance to create a fun environment to learn in while taking the pressure and often overwhelming feeling off the owners. You are encouraged to attend classes and 1:1 sessions over the course of your dogs board and train. These sessions are included in the board and train and are a vital part of the process for your dogs return.

Board and Train 2 week minimum - 50% non- refundable deposit required -

At our core, we believe that effective dog training begins with strengthening the bond between human and canine. This connection creates a foundation for mutual respect and a lifetime of shared joy

MEET ASHLEY

Through my relationship based approach our focus is physical and mental exercise as required for the age and breed while conditioning calm around others in and outside of the home. We aim to prevent/redirect unwanted behaviors while patterning preferred ones. We establish a clear leadership based off of trust we build through support in moments of uncertainty. My training consists of healthy boundaries, fulfillment as a dog and calm communication.

Each service is tailored to work with your dog and your specific goals. I don’t believe training can be one size fits all. I train at your dogs pace and never rush the process. I encourage you to approach training with an open mind.
