CPDT-KA Certified, Force-Free Training Serving Clark County
If you're in Vancouver, WA and your dog turns into a different animal the moment you clip on the leash, you don't have to keep dreading walks. I work with reactive, fearful, and easily overstimulated dogs throughout Vancouver and Clark County — right in your neighborhood, on the actual sidewalks and trails where your dog struggles.
Training Where You Actually Live
Vancouver has a lot of great spaces for dog owners — and a lot of potential trigger zones for a reactive dog. From the busy foot traffic along the Waterfront Renaissance Trail and Esther Short Park, to the family-dense sidewalks of Fisher's Landing, to the city's off-leash dog parks scattered around Clark County, there's no shortage of real-world situations where reactivity shows up. That's exactly where training needs to happen — not just in a quiet backyard, but in the actual environments your dog has to navigate every day.
I bring sessions directly to you: your neighborhood, your usual walking route, or a nearby park where we can control distance and distractions while your dog builds new skills.
What I Help With
Leash reactivity toward other dogs, people, bikes, or strollers
Fear-based barking and lunging
Overstimulation on busy trails or in crowded areas
Building confidence in a dog who shuts down or panics around triggers
General obedience and puppy foundations, for dogs who need more than reactivity work
Force-Free, Science-Based, and Built for Your Dog
As a CPDT-KA certified trainer, I use force-free (R+) methods — no shock collars, no prong corrections, no punishment-based tools. Just training grounded in how dogs actually learn, applied consistently in the places your dog needs it most.
