***COVID 19 UPDATE*** I am fully vaccinated! We can take precautions according to your comfort level. I can work outside or in with a mask and maintain distance. Or if you prefer, I am offering online options now as well. |
Welcome! Tess (pictured here) and I are excited to have you visit! Training is an investment into your life with your dog. I understand how important and valuable a well behaved and happy dog is. I will honor your investment and help you achieve your goals, whether that looks like a calm and safe family member or a working companion to help you excel in your profession or passion! I have close to 20 years of education, real life experience, and practical work in family pet, working companion, and shelter/rescue pet training - my experiences include rehabilitation of feral/aggressive/fearful behavior, and practical work or trialing in herding, tracking, hunting, and agility. I reside in Fremont County, WY but I offer services statewide, and regionally. Travel fees may apply to areas outside of the immediate Lander/Riverton areas. Video or phone consultation and online options are also available. |
General ResourcesClick to learn about my favorite resources for tools, supplements, and other trainer's techniques!
The nitty gritty...All services must be paid for in full at beginning of first appointment unless payment arrangements are worked out prior to first appointment.
After the 3rd consecutive missed or cancelled appointment a $10 fee will be added to each remaining appointment (exceptions do apply!) Fees reflect a handling charge for online payments. Local customers who pay in cash will receive a discount. Travel fees will be added to distances beyond 40 miles of the 82523 zip code.

Kibbles and Bits BlogA tasty treat of tips, fun, and informative current topics!
Click to go to the blog post! Animal Shelters, Rescues, and FostersWhen I first became a certified dog trainer, I found myself without many dogs to train. I lived in a small community and there were several "free" trainers who offered their services to the public, free of charge, their experience based on years spent training their own dogs to compete in various sports or with clubs. So, I reached out to local shelters and rescues for "clients" and eventually began my own rescue to assist local shelters that did not have the resources to care for the stray animals, and often resorted to euthanizing.
I understand the challenges for funding trainers and yet the importance of training to help pets (I have experience with all species!) become adoptive, and STAY in their adoptive homes! I also understand the challenges of foster programs and the critical role they play in the adoption process. Please reach out if you have a need- there are many free resources and I am very invested in helping! I also have a lot of options that will put money back into your organization, grow your volunteer/foster base and their skill level, or increase adoptions. It is worth exploring and maybe an email or two! |
