After the first session, we saw an improvement. By the end of our training, Maisie was like a different dog. Trisha is so patient and knowledgeable. She gives simple but very effective exercises to help get your dog where you want them to be. We recommend her 100%
When it looked like our little rescue dog was too much for us to handle, Trisha was very supportive and gave us great tools to work with our Benji.
My dogs are much more enjoyable to live with since working with Trisha. Her positive reinforcement style makes me feel like I’m bettering my relationship with my dogs and not punishing them

Hi, I’m Trisha!
My rescue kelpies Cali and Duke were both leash-reactive as youngsters, and their off-leash attention was nonexistent when animals were around. We tried everything, including trainers who assured us that e-collars were the only solution. But aversive tools only scared them and made their behavior worse.
I knew there had to be a better way—so I found one. I was so relieved by the change I saw in my dogs that I’ve been dedicated to teaching others what I know ever since. My approach is rooted in a passion for the great outdoors, a love of learning, and a commitment to positive, force-free training.
Together, we’ll work through trouble spots to deepen your bond and create a joy-filled future for you and your dog.
