Because so many behavior problems occur home, this is where it is best to work with you and your dog. Typically, my initial step will be to conduct an evaluation at your home. I will evaluate your dog’s behavior and we will discuss his or her specific behavior problems, prior training, as well as your daily routine. We will establish goals to change unwanted behaviors and to add new, more appropriate skills. You will be given a plan and training exercises to do on your own which will result in sovling your dog's problem behaviors.

Behavior Consultations
Whether you are looking to start your new puppy off right or have an older dog who needs to learn some manners, I offer private sessions in your own home. My classes include lessons for the following:

       Come when called
       Sit and down
       Stay
       Walk on a loose leash

We will also address common issues like jumping up on people, housetraining, unwanted barking or chewing and counter surfing.
If you are interested in group classes, I am also an instructor at Tails-U-Win! in Manchester, CT. Please visit their website at www.tailsuwin.com to learn about training opportunities and programs that they offer.

Agility Training
Are you an agility enthusiast or competitor? I also offer both group and private lessons for people involved in the sport of dog agility. I work with people of all levels of experience and any breed of dog.
 
I have consistently had the top ranked agility dogs for 2 different breeds, earning multiple MACH titles. In 2009 and 2010, I competed with the #1 and #2 Whippets in the country. Ghillie also earned the AKC Top Agility Dog award for the Hound Group both years.
