🕵️‍♀️ How it works…

Like any good detective, I start with the facts.

Dog training isn’t just about obedience — it’s about finding solutions. It’s about following clues and solving puzzles, and I’ll show you exactly how to keep the progress going on your own.

After our session, you’ll receive:
🔎 A complete, tailored dog training plan
🔎 A video recording of our session to refer back to
🔎 Any product or equipment recommendations that’ll make your life easier

Simple, clear, effective — just the facts, no fluff (except your dog’s).
