You just want to be able to enjoy your dog.

You want to be able to take relaxing walks together, to have him come when you call, to greet you, your neighbors, and friends with a calm, polite sit instead of all that frenzied jumping. Essentially, to show some manners.
 
I think that’s very reasonable.

My 3 dog training goals for you:

1. Replacing frustration with “Ahhh…”
Whether it’s all the jumping, the pulling, the demand for attention at exactly the wrong moments, or the way he ignores his own name (even though you know he knows it!), my job is to transform pushy, rude behavior into something more becoming.

2. Good dog manners at home
I want you to enjoy your dog’s company in the comfort of your home. Imagine a dog who responds to requests, can settle down on her bed when you’re busy, and treats you and your guests with friendly, controlled grace.
​
​​3. Good dog manners anywhere
I want you to enjoy your dog’s company out-and-about in our beautiful city and wild areas, too. That means a dog who sits when you ask, waits at doors and curbs, walks politely by your side on leash, and comes when called when he’s free to roam.

PLEASE NOTE: These packages are for friendly, non-fearful, non-aggressive dogs. If your dog is struggling with more serious behavior issues, please click for help here.

It's basic manners for the well-mannered Southern Mutt. We'll tailor a training plan to teach your dog the skills needed to be a happy, polite family member.

STEP 1: 90-minute Initial Consultation
This is where we set our priorities and start problem solving. We’ll build a training plan specific to your household and lifestyle so you get training results where you need and want them most. You’ll learn professional training insights to help understand why your dog does what he does, and how to help him do what you want instead.

STEP 2: 6-weeks of Dog Training Support
We’ll meet for an hour of dog training coaching each week for 6-weeks, during which you’ll learn how to train your dog’s basic manners and transform his behavior in your home, around your neighborhood, and wherever else you’d like to enjoy his company.

STEP 3: Follow-up Support
We’ll touch base as needed between sessions to make sure all the amazing progress you and your dog have made “sticks” for the long run.

​Able to enjoy more pleasurable walks.
I worked with Jaimie to address leash pulling. Our dog is very strong and I was afraid one of us was going to get hurt. After a few sessions Maizie and I are able to enjoy more pleasurable walks. I’ve referred several of my friends.
--Maizie’s mom, Tracy Schulz
 
We needed work on the big-deal stuff.
We needed work on the big-deal stuff, like drop it, leave it, and coming when called. In four at-home visits, Jaimie addressed all that and more. Best of all, she helped with our dog’s leash-walking manners. And our dog LOVED her.
--Dixie’s mom, Toni Martin
