In-Home Dog Training in Spokane

It’s ideal if everyone in the household who will be working with the dog can be present, but if that’s not possible, I do send you a summary email after each session that you can share.

You’re also able to reach out between sessions to get help.

Each session is about 60-90 minutes.

Wednesdays through Sundays, noon to 7 pm.

I use a balanced approach to training, which means a mix of reinforcement, consequences, emotion, and environment. We'll build up the behaviors you want to see more of and add a consequence for the ones you want to see less of — this tends to be the fastest, most reliable way for dogs to actually learn.

After meeting your dog, I'll recommend tools that would benefit training — toys, food, praise, flat collar, remote collar, or prong collar. What we use depends on your dog's personality and your own comfort level.

You always have the final say. I won't put any tool on your dog without your okay first. My goal is a dog who's confident and happy to listen — not stressed, shut down, or only obedient when there's food in sight.

It depends on what we’re working on, but we will discuss equipment and tools at your first session. No need to run out and buy anything ahead of time!

That depends on your dog, your goals, how quickly you learn, and how often you practice.

Every situation is different, which is why I don’t sell packages.

Probably not. Dogs of all ages and behavior problems can be trained, and it’s never too late to start.

It generally takes longer if a dog has been practicing bad behavior for years, but it’s still very doable. I’ll always be honest in my assessment of your situation.

In-home training involves me teaching YOU how to work with your dog.
