Dogs are fantastic! But, let's face it, living with a different species isn't always easy. Dogs tend to view things a bit differently than we do. To your dog, the carpet might seem like a perfectly good place for a potty break, but I'm guessing you have a different opinion. 

 Okay, so what can we do about it? We teach them the behaviors we want or to like things we need them to like, and this is often easier to do than you might think! Get in touch with me today and I can help to prevent or resolve problem behaviors so you can enjoy life with your dog!

Vanessa is the best. She’s an incredibly gifted dog trainer but is also a fabulous coach. She gave me invaluable advice which contributed hugely to me turning around my aggressive dog, Tex’s, problem behavior. Vanessa has endless patience, is incredibly knowledgeable, and a real pleasure to work with. I’d highly recommend Vanessa. You will not be disappointed.
