Real Help for Real Life with a Dog in the City
Owning a dog in the city isn’t just about “sit” and “stay.”
It’s crowded sidewalks, leash reactivity, delivery people, overstimulation, and no backyard in sight.
I help thoughtful, committed dog owners build calm, confident dogs—and stop living in chaos.
✨ What You Can Expect
✔️ Realistic plans tailored to your life and your dog.
✔️ Honest feedback (no sugarcoating, no judgment).

I Don’t Do Fantasy Dog Ownership
❌ Quick fixes (this isn’t reality tv)
❌ Telling you want you want to hear vs what you need to hear (I’ll be kind, but clear)
❌ Pretending your dog is someone they’re not (they’re already a dog, that’s a full-time job)
❌ Results without follow through (I work hard and expect my clients to do the same if they expect results)
What I Do Offer Instead
✅ Realistic, ethical training
✅ Straight talk with compassion
✅ Custom support (I won’t jam you or your dog into a template)
✅ A working partnership
✅ No judgement (you’re welcome as you are)
This work is structured, realistic, and kind. If you’re ready for that, I’m excited to help.
