Tips for Choosing a Pro
What to Expect from Me
I Promise To

Serve as your trusted adviser
-
Say what's needed, even if it's not what you want to hear
-
Tell you if we can't go further
-
Refer to someone better if needed
-
Tailor to your lifestyle and goals, but within your pets' abilities
-
Put the emotional and physical well-being of humans and pets first and human desires come after
No Judgement

Never feel judged about your pet, lifestyle, housekeeping, or collection of 2000 unicorns
-
If you don't care if your dog is on the table, then I don't care either! (unless it pertains to the training at hand)

Our sessions are a safe place and your information is confidential
Fun

I'm known for my humor

Lack of laughter is very rare
