Dog Training

At Creature Comforts, I believe every great dog starts with the basics. A solid foundation in obedience helps shape how your dog learns, listens, and responds in everyday life—and it’s the key to building more advanced skills later on. As a trainer, my goal is to understand why your dog behaves the way they do, not just to correct it. I use positive reinforcement to guide behavior in a way that builds trust and respect between you and your dog. When your dog feels safe and understood, training becomes a fun and rewarding experience for both of you

What Makes Creature Comforts Different

I don’t just train dogs, I teach people how to understand their dogs. Real change happens when owners learn how to read their dog’s body language, respond calmly, and guide behavior with confidence and clarity.

I follow the L.I.M.A. principle: Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive. That means I always choose the gentlest, most effective training methods to help your dog succeed without fear or stress. My goal is to create lasting results built on trust, communication, and respect—not quick fixes.

I also specialize in working with anxious and reactive dogs, helping them (and their owners) build confidence in challenging situations. Having trained my own medical alert service dog, I understand firsthand the patience, consistency, and teamwork that true partnership requires.

At Creature Comforts, training isn’t just about obedience—it’s about building a stronger, happier bond between you and your dog.

  • You must first book a Eval before booking a training sessions. This is a a time I will learn more about what you and your dog are needing help with. During this time I will observe your dog and their behavior, do a reinforcement evaluation, and explain to the owner what next steps will look like.

  • This is a 1 :1 training session with your pup. Every week we will meet for an hour and I will start the steps of teaching sit, down, place, come, stay, and leave it.
    At the end of the hour you will get “homework” which I will teach you so you can continue working with your dog on those behaviors for the week.

    Depending on scheduling this class takes about 4-6weeks.

  • In this 1:1 class I will teach your pup manners with leash walking. This can be a great class for dogs who pull, are anxious about the great outdoors, and pups who may be reactive to things around them during a walk.

  • This ones for the pups! In this class you and your puppy will meet with me and I will teach you and your pup the best way to handle, teething, potty training, the start of basic commands, and most importantly how to have a healthy relationship with your dog!
