What I Offer

Training Services

Every dog and every household is different, so training is tailored to your goals, your dog's temperament, and your day-to-day life.

🐾

Obedience & Manners Training

The core cues that make daily life easier: sit, stay, come, place, loose-leash walking, and polite greetings.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑

Handler Coaching

Training the dog is half the job — I'll coach you on timing, body language, and consistency so it sticks after I leave.

🐕

Puppy Foundations

Socialization, crate and potty training, bite inhibition, and building good habits from day one.

🎯

Behavior Modification

Support for reactivity, jumping, pulling, resource guarding, and other everyday behavior challenges.

🏠

In-Home Private Sessions

One-on-one training in the environment your dog actually lives in, for faster and more lasting results.

📋

Custom Training Plans

Not sure where to start? I'll build a step-by-step plan around your dog's needs and your schedule.

About Haley

Positive methods. Real-life results.

I believe training should build trust between you and your dog, not just compliance. My approach is reward-based and rooted in patience — the goal is a dog who wants to make good choices, and a handler who knows how to guide them there.

Whether you're starting from scratch with a new puppy, working through a specific behavior issue, or just want a more polite walking companion, I'll meet you and your dog where you are.
