About me

My training is all the right stuff. I had the privilege of mentoring with some of the best dog trainers in the industry. I have so much to teach you and your dog. The education I got from other trainers is invaluable. However, the best teachers have been the dogs. I have over 35 years of hands-on experience working with thousands of dogs with serious behavior problems in challenging environments, including animal shelters, veterinary clinics, dog grooming salons, dog training facilities, board and daycare, and the real world. Better days are closer than you may think. My clients come back year after year because although there is no magic wand to train a dog, your dog will be loving you forever when you learn how to train them correctly. You can learn with others in group training, or we can train one-on-one with private training. I will help you and your dog learn to work better as a team.

 

Step by step you can learn to train your dog.

Learning starts with you and ends with your dog. Your dog will only be as trained as you are. Every dog wants to live its best life. When you work against your dog, they will work against you, but when you learn how to make learning work for your dog, they will do what you want willingly. Silent leadership is critical to all dogs. Dogs find it hard not to love you when you lead them the right way. When you learn how to lead your dog confidently, your dog will follow your guidance and do what you want them to do. And who does not want a love like this with their dog? I will help coach you step by step as you get through to your dog and change their ways.

 

Where do I go from here?

For many of you, it’s been a long time coming since you and your dog started training, but don’t worry; there is never a time that is too late to get started. It might be hard at first, but you will be thankful that you chose K9 No Limits to help you, and your dog. Before you know it, things will be a lot better.

I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all training method. Every training method is meant to teach the dog something different. Training your dog is about learning how to use the correct training method to get the desired results you need from your dog. That said, I firmly believe that learning needs to be helpful to your dog, not harmful. Training should be as gentle and positive as possible, but guidance needs to be as firm as necessary to get your dog to that rewardable behavior.

Training
Socialization & Playgroups

Step by step we will help you and your dog learn about dog training and socialization. I have solutions for behavior problems and will teach you and your dog basic, advanced, and off-leash reliability.

Dogs are still kids especially when they play with each other. 
My socialization and playgroups give you and your dog a safe environment to learn and improve social skills. With my help, dogs and humans learn proper social skills, and how to navigate around dogs with different playstyles, personalities, social skills, and pack-ranking.

Daycare

My daycare provides your dog an opportunity to burn energy, socialize with others, or to get hands on work with me. Each dogs' personal needs are considered, and your dog is set up for success so they can advance their skills and learning.
