Training with me in Las Vegas

I enjoy helping people understand their dogs. We work on the skills that make daily life easier, with clear communication, practice you can continue at home, and room to talk honestly when something is difficult.

I offer puppy foundations, household manners, obedience, and individualized development for eligible service prospects. We begin with your dog’s age, health, history, and your goals. Young puppies can begin suitable learning around two months; methods and equipment are chosen for the individual.

For our JDV owners

Your individualized training guidance by phone, text, and video is included throughout your dog’s life, with no additional coaching or lesson fee. We can work through your questions about transition, boundaries, comfortable independence, and development together. Board and train is separately paid.

The lesson packages below describe the separate all-breed training service. They do not replace or add a fee to the coaching included for JDV owners.

Choosing a program

The programs below include an e-collar where appropriate. That does not mean every dog or age is suited to one. We agree on the approach, availability, and scope before beginning. Lessons give us time to teach and practice; lasting progress also depends on what you continue at home.

Starter — $325

One lesson and an e-collar within the agreed program. We introduce learning principles, communication, and markers. Additional individual lessons are $125 each.

Basic — $650

Four lessons and an e-collar within the agreed program. We work toward recall foundations, sit, down, place, duration, release cues, dropping items, polite greetings, and loose-leash walking. Distractions increase as your dog is ready.

Advanced — $1,000

Eight lessons and an e-collar within the agreed program. Depending on your goals, we may work on distance cues, recall around distractions, heel, vehicle routines, backing up, holding objects, cooperative handling, door routines, conformation foundations, or preparation for eligible AKC evaluations. Off-leash work requires demonstrated readiness and safe, lawful conditions.

Service-dog task training

We assess each team’s readiness, obedience, and public-behavior foundations before agreeing on disability-related tasks, duration, and fees. A certificate records training; it does not itself establish service-dog status or public-access rights. Read more about choosing and developing a service prospect.

Additional help for our clients

Socialization outings — $50 for four hours. For existing clients. We choose experiences for the dog’s confidence, comfort, and stage of learning, with time to recover.

Boarding — $100 per night. For existing clients. In-home attention, play, and affection. We discuss food, medication, care, and management needs beforehand.

Board and train — $150 per night. Boarding and work toward agreed goals, with at least two hours of daily training arranged to suit age, endurance, rest, and learning. Ear posting, nail Dremeling, and regular grooming are included when applicable. We plan your handover and continued practice together.

Ear posting and nail Dremeling — $50 each. Confirm the appointment and handling plan with me.

AKC evaluations — $50 each; retest $25. Canine Good Citizen, Trick Dog, and Virtual Home Manners evaluations, subject to their eligibility and requirements.

I want you to understand the why

Tell me what you are seeing, what you have tried, and where you feel stuck. My goal is to develop your confidence and judgment alongside your dog’s skills. Good teaching should leave you better able to work together.
