- Crate training and sleep routine support
- Potty training guidance and troubleshooting
- Owner education so progress continues between sessions
The critical window
Puppies are neurologically primed to absorb new information in their first 16 weeks. The habits formed now — good or bad — set the tone for the rest of their lives.
Ideal for
Whether you have a 1-year-old with too much energy or a 5-year-old who never learned the basics, it's never too late. Erin's obedience training covers the core skills every dog needs to be a safe, happy member of your household — and your community.
What's included
- Sit, down, stay, heel, and recall training
- Leash manners and on-walk behavior
- Door and boundary training
- Off-leash reliability where appropriate
- Distraction proofing in real-world environments
- Ongoing homework and owner coaching
It's never too late to learn
Old dogs absolutely can learn new tricks. Adult dogs often progress faster than puppies — they have the focus and the drive. They just need the right teacher.
Ideal for
Reactivity, anxiety, aggression, fear, resource guarding — these are complex behaviors that require a nuanced, individualized approach. Erin doesn't just manage problem behaviors, she works to understand and address their root cause, creating a real treatment plan built around your specific dog.
What's included
- Full behavioral assessment and history intake
- Customized treatment plan for your dog's specific needs
- Trigger identification and desensitization work
- Reactivity and aggression management strategies
- Anxiety and fear-based behavior support
- Ongoing plan adjustments as your dog progresses
Beyond symptom management
Most dogs with behavioral challenges aren't "bad dogs" — they're dogs who haven't been understood. Erin's behavior modification work gets to the why, not just the what.
