Basic Manners Training for Real Life
If your dog knows the basics but struggles to use them in real life, you’re not alone. Basic manners training helps adolescent and adult dogs build reliable, everyday skills like polite walking, calm greetings, and better focus around distractions. I use clear, reward-based training that supports both you and your dog.

How Training Works
Personalized training plans
Each session builds on the previous one, with clear goals and next steps.
Session notes & demo videos
After each session, you’ll receive written notes and short demo videos so you can review and practice confidently.
Support between sessions
Questions come up — you’ll have guidance between sessions so you’re not stuck waiting until the next appointment.
Session Frequency & Progress
-
Follow-up sessions typically scheduled every 1–2 weeks
-
Training pace tailored to your dog and household
-
Plans adjusted as skills improve and goals evolve
-
A common starting package is 4–6 sessions, which provides a foundation to begin training.
Getting Started
All training services begin with an initial consultation. Consultations are 60–90 minutes and focus on learning about your dog, reviewing history, and assessing current behaviors. This session is less hands-on training and more about creating a thoughtful, customized plan moving forward.
