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.
Train-for-you Program
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. At the successful completion of the program, we will review together during a handoff session to instill the progress.
