Pet Portrait Photography

I am incredibly blessed to combine my knowledge, experience and passion in my pet photography.   I've successfully worked with hundreds of dogs at every level of training (including no formal training at all) and numerous personality types (outgoing, shy) and can utilize this experience in capturing the bond that your share and best tells your dog's story.    Sessions can be held at your home or on location.  Email for pricing packages.

 

Dog Sport Event Photography

I have served as the official sanctioned photographer at numerous dog sporting events.  Not only do I capture great action shots, but my photographs also capture those candid moments where the team's relationship shine.  If you are a trial or show secretary, please inquire via email at [email protected]

 

Private Puppy Lessons

Congratulations on your new pandemic puppy!  These next few months will be the most rewarding and challenging as your puppy grows and learns how to behave in the world.  The COVID restrictions have made training your pandemic puppy even more challenging!  Are you looking to survive puppyhood?  Is your new puppy nipping, having potty accidents, putting everything in the mouth, jumping, and engaging in other typical puppy antics?   I can relate as I just recently survived all those things raising my puppy!   

COVID-19 has made it hard to find in-person group classes – but you need help now!  I provide private, customized training in your home that can help you survive puppyhood and create a life-long relationship built on trust and cooperation.  I utilize positive reinforcement and fear-free methods.  Whether you want a hiking partner, a social companion for urban outings, or a sport competitor, I can create a customized curriculum for you.  I am fully vaccinated and observe COVID-19 guidelines including social distancing and face mask compliance. 

We start by filling out a questionnaire that lets me know in advance many details about your puppy and goals for training.  From there, we schedule a one-time in-person consult at your residence to meet, observe your puppy in it's normal habitat (possibility engaging in the behaviors you want to extinguish), and formulate a customized curriculum and goals.  The price of this consult is $150 and takes 1 1/2 hour, payable in advance. 

If you decide to move forward with my services, I typically offer a 6-session package (one hour once a week) for $600, payable prior to the first session.  For more information, please contact me at [email protected]

 

Private Adult Dog Lessons

Congratulations on adopting an adult dog!  COVID-19 has made it harder to find in-person group classes to learn basic manners.  But you need help now!  I can help by offering private, customized training in your home to help your newly-adopted dog integrate into society with polite manners, or set the foundation for dog sport competition.  Training curriculum is based on positive-reinforcement, fear-free methods.  I am fully vaccinated and observe COVID-19 guidelines including social distancing and face mask compliance.

   Benefits of private classes

  • Convenience – group classes occur at set times on set nights and offer little, if any, flexibility to your schedule.  With private lessons, we work around your busy schedule.
  • Structure – group classes have a set structure and often times includes things not relevant to your dog; especially if puppies and adult dogs attend the same class.  With private lessons, we structure a curriculum specific to your dog.
  • Dedicated time with trainer – group classes typically have a 4:1 or higher ratio of students to instructors.  That means your hands on time with the instructor may only be 15 minutes (or less) of the entire class time.  With private lessons, you have 100% of my time!
