Aggressive Dogs

Does your dog bark and lunge at people? Growl or bite when touched? Maybe they are fighting with their housemate. We can remedy these worrisome problems.

As Canton’s only dog trainer certified to treat canine aggression, it’s my goal to make you and your dog feel comfortable and safe as quickly as possible.

See the Aggression page for more details.

Puppies

Puppies are so cuter but can also be so frustrating!

Raise your puppy for a life full of pawtential! I’ll help you overcome the challenges of a growing puppy while teaching them important life skills to grow into a well-mannered adult.

In training we’ll work on socialization, basic obedience and common puppy problems.

See the Puppy page for more details.

Fearful Dogs

Does your dog look stressed or scared most of the time? Are you worried they’ll always be afraid?

I see you both and understand what you are going through. I would love to help your dog feel more comfortable in and out of the home.

Common fears include strangers, objects, sounds, and being groomed.

See the Fearful Dogs page for more details.
