My Mission
At Mod Dog Training, I operate on two basic principles: training should never hurt and training should strengthen your bond with your dog. Helping dogs and their people understand each other better and live more enriching lives is the single most important aspect of my business. Mod Dog Training is here for anyone from the first-time puppy parent, to the lifelong dog owner, and everyone in-between. Whether you are struggling with a puppy who is still learning to chew on appropriate items, a dog who pulls on walks, a dog who is reactive or fearful, or you'd just like to learn more about how R+ methods can benefit your relationship with your dog, I'm here to help!
