Why do I keep dog training affordable? 🐾
I genuinely believe good dog training should be accessible and shouldn’t have to break the bank.
Affordable does not mean less effort, less education, or less support.
My training is primarily based around positive reinforcement, building engagement, communication, confidence, and helping owners understand why their dog is doing what they’re doing—not just trying to force a behavior into submission.
I also tend to go a little above and beyond. 😆
Depending on what we’re working on, clients may receive homework sheets, written exercises, training tips, step-by-step instructions, or things to practice between sessions. I want you to leave knowing what to work on instead of going home thinking, “Okay... now what were we supposed to do again?”
But there is another side to that.
I can teach you. I can teach your dog. I cannot do the work at home for you.
Dog training is a partnership between the trainer, the owner, and the dog.
The 30 minutes we spend together will never outweigh what happens during the other hours and days of the week. Consistency at home is where behaviors become habits and where the real progress happens.
That means homework matters.
Practice matters.
Consistency matters.
Following through matters.
And if something isn't working, I want to know so we can adjust it—not simply abandon the entire process.
This is also why I will soon be implementing a training agreement for clients. It isn't about making training complicated or covering everyone in paperwork. It is about making sure expectations are clear from the beginning—mine and yours.
I will continue doing my part: providing instruction, support, resources, individualized guidance, and affordable training.
In return, I expect owners to do their part by practicing, being consistent, communicating with me, and putting in the work between sessions.
I don't believe someone should have to spend thousands of dollars just to learn how to communicate better with their dog.
But I also don't believe it is fair to the owner, the dog, or me to continue taking someone's money when the training isn't being practiced outside our sessions.
I care far more about seeing you and your dog succeed than I do about keeping you on an endless training schedule.
Affordable training. Realistic expectations. Owner involvement. And a whole lot of treats. 😂🐾
Because my goal isn't to make you dependent on your trainer. My goal is to help you become confident enough that eventually, you don't need me.
