The Basics

Welcome to the Basics: Where It All Begins!

Starting training with your dog doesn’t have to feel overwhelming—I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Whether you’ve just brought home a new companion or are looking to brush up on the essentials, this is the perfect place to begin.

 

What does “Basics” mean?

The basics are exactly that—nothing fancy, just the foundational skills that make life with your dog easier and more enjoyable. You don’t need to know anything before starting, and neither does your dog!

 

What if my dog has behavioral issues?

Some behaviors—like jumping, pulling on the leash, or not coming when called—often fall under the basics. These can be addressed as part of your training program, depending on your goals. If you’re dealing with something more complex, I’ll work with you to determine if my approach fits your dog’s needs.

 

What can I expect from basic training?

This program is tailored to help you and your dog build a strong foundation. Some of the areas we’ll focus on include:

  • Teaching essential commands like sit, stay, and come
  • Helping your dog learn to walk nicely on a leash
  • Creating good house manners (like waiting at doors or not jumping on guests)
  • Building your confidence as a dog owner

 

The goal?

To give you the tools to enjoy life with your dog to the fullest.

 

Does my dog need any prior training?

Absolutely not! My Basics Program is designed for dogs of all ages and backgrounds. Whether you’ve just adopted a rescue or want to give your lifelong companion a refresher, this is the perfect starting point.
