Frequently Asked Questions

I’m based in Redmond, Oregon. My training happens here at my private homestead — your dog gets real-world practice around trails, farm animals, and other dogs, plus outings into town so the training sticks in everyday life.

I work with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages — from rowdy adolescent pups to adult dogs who need a reset. My specialty is helping active owners build calm, reliable, off-leash dogs ready for adventure.

Your dog comes to live with me and my pack for 2–4 weeks. They get daily hands-on training, rest, enrichment, and exposure to the kinds of places you actually want them to behave — trails, patios, farm life, and more.

You’ll get daily updates, saved highlight reels, and a weekly lesson with me so you feel prepared when they come home. I also include follow-up support and Pack Adventures to keep progress going strong.

No worries! You can still join the Membership Community, where you’ll get access to training videos, real-life demos, virtual coaching calls, and group support — so you always have guidance and accountability. Many owners travel in for Board & Train, then stay connected through the membership afterward.

I never promise perfection — dogs are living beings, not robots. But I do promise to give you the tools, knowledge, and real-life practice you need to feel confident continuing the training at home. When you show up and follow through, big changes happen.

Let’s talk about it! I always start with a quick discovery call so I can hear what’s going on and recommend the best path forward. We’ll make sure you feel good about what you’re investing in before you ever commit.

Yes! I know Board & Train is an investment — payment plans are available so you can break it up into smaller, more manageable pieces.

Grounded, real-world, and relationship-focused. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all methods — I adapt to what works best for you and your dog. My goal is to help you understand why your dog does what they do and show you how to build clear, calm communication that holds up anywhere.
