Behavior Consultations & Private Training: Relationship/Reward/Force-free Training; Puppy-Advanced Skills and Manners; Tellington TTouch. CDBC, CPDT-KA, CTTP-II Foranimals LLC is dedicated to providing individualized quality care and education for you and your dog. All training and handling techniques are based on positive reinforcement approaches to learning that foster trust, respect, and deeper relationships. I have been teaching for 35 years and opened Foranimals in 1996. My individual sessions are designed to be active and fun for you and your dog. You will learn how to communicate clearly with your dog and when and how to reward good behavior. You will also learn how to effectively change unwanted behavior without the use of forceful or harsh punishment. Behavior consultations and private training programs are available year-round by appointment in my studio. Whether you would like to begin basic skills and manners training for your puppy or adolescent dog, address challenging behavior problems like anxiety or aggression, or work with your aging pet’s comfort and pain management, together we will create a program using behavior modification, and positive-based skill building and management that works to support lasting change. Training is structured for real life learning with your companion dog. All training is conducted with the owner present and actively participating in the learning process.
