Are there any age or breed restrictions?

Nope! Any dog at any age can learn. However, it is best to get your dog started as young as possible to prevent problem behaviors before they turn into ingrained behaviors that need intervention.

What areas do you service?

Beverly Hills. West Hollywood. Neighborhoods around Melrose Ave and Beverly Blvd. Los Feliz. Silver Lake.

Please contact if your neighborhood is not included and accommodations can be made.

What tools do you use and are you against any tools?

My preferred tool of choice is a simple slip lead that goes over the dogs snout in a figure eight. It is by far the easiest tool I have found to teach owners how to guide their dogs into desired behaviors rather than constantly correcting them. It is also an amazing tool to teach polite leash walking. I ultimately use what the owner is comfortable with and do not force ay tool on my clients. I am only against someone who purposefully uses a tool in an uneducated, abusive, or harmful manner.

Who are you inspired by and what dog books do you recommend?

Inspirations:

Cheri Lucas, Steve DelSavio, Oregon Tails, The Monks of New Skete & more of the like!
