About the Minnesota Dog Pack
After working as a professional dog trainer for years, in 2018 I completed an intensive program with the renown dog behaviorist and psychologist Todd Langston. Since then, I have developed my own dog behaviorist practice with hundreds of dogs. I have experience with seniors, puppies, aggression, anxiety, and everything in between. I pride myself on my trustworthiness, professionalism, and reliability. I go out of my way to ensure every dog is well-balanced, happy, and healthy by addressing their individual needs.
Guided Training
As a dog behaviorist and psychologist, I offer much more than simple obedience training. I will teach you how to understand and redirect your dog's natural energy. Together we will work to combat the symptoms of insecurity, like aggression and anxiety. Through calm, assertive leadership, we will establish boundaries that mimic an instinctual pack hierarchy, fostering a nurturing environment and a happier, more attentive, balanced dog.
I am happy to set up one-off 90-min sessions reviewing the basics of dog psychology and positive behavior practices.
I can also work with you to set up a continual training program to address particular behavioral challenges or sharpen fundamentals. Typically, these weekly sessions cement the training effects over the course of the month.
Individual sessions are $200 per session or $180 for puppies under six months. Four-session packages are a $20 discount per session.

Canine Connection
If you prefer a hands-off approach, I offer an immersive train-for-you experience. I conduct intensive, 90-minute, one-on-one sessions with your dog Monday through Friday in your home. Unlike traditional board-and-train programs, this unique regimen allows your dog to learn in the comfort of their typical environment, ensuring a more accurate and lasting effect. Each program is specifically tailored to you and your dog's needs and will address your dog's individual challenges while developing scenarios to establish healthy behaviors and a calm mindset. We wrap each session with a handoff that reviews and instills progress together.
Programs are $1,000, $500 per week. Call or text to set up your program!
Adventure Pack: A Social Club for Dogs
Treat your dog to an adventure designed to enrich their mind, body, and spirit! Dogs thrive in nature-based adventuring. From guided group hikes, to swims at the beach, to mobility exercises, our structured programming builds confidence and emotional wellbeing.
Our pickups begin at 9 AM and our dropoffs begin at 1 PM, every week day. Pickups and dropoffs are available in a selected area, otherwise a dropoff location can be arranged upon request.
Each four-hour adventure is $60, or $100 for two dogs, two-day minimum.

Guided Pack Walks
Our clients may join us for these exclusive Sunday group walks!
Our pack meets multiple times each Sunday at beautiful parks throughout the Twin Cities, weather-permitting. We lead the pack, offer one-on-one guidance throughout the walk, and hang around for a Q&A. It is a great opportunity for structured socialization, exercise, and fresh air—and your dog will love it too!
Each walk is $25.
