Dogs, Cats & Other Animals
Dog & Cat Training
Patient, trust-based help for pets and their owners.
Dogs
From anxious rescues to excitable puppies.
→Cats
Stressed, hiding, or acting out? I can help.
→Most behavioral problems in dogs and cats come from stress, fear, or miscommunication — not disobedience. I work with your pet to build trust and calm through gentle, consistent interaction. No dominance, no punishment — just patience and understanding.
Anxiety & fear
Your pet trembles, hides, or freezes. Loud noises, strangers, or new situations trigger panic.
Aggression & reactivity
Barking at other dogs, lunging on walks, hissing at visitors. It's stressful for both of you.
New pet adjustment
A puppy that won't listen, a rescue that won't eat, a kitten that hides under the bed for days.
Life changes
A move, new baby, divorce, or loss. Your pet feels it too — and shows it in their behavior.

I also work with farm animals
In addition dogs and cats, I work with horses, cattle, sheep, and goats. The same principles apply: calm presence, trust-building, and patience. If you have livestock that are difficult to handle or stressed around people, I can help.
