What to Expect
I’ll ask you some questions about your dog and the issues you are having.
We will talk about your end goal and what a ‘perfect world’ would look like if we fast forward 6 months from now.
I will walk you through how I can help you with my no treats (only praise) training method and together we will determine if you and your dog are a fit for any of my programs.
I will go over what is included, how training works, and walk you through my different programs and pricing.
You can ask me any questions you have
Before We Talk (2 Minute Homework)
Text a picture of your dog to 847-254-4201 and include your first and last name
If you happen to have any short videos of the behavior you want fixed please text me them as well - it will help me see what it going on and better prepare me for our phone call.

About 15-20 minutes, sometimes longer if you have a lot of questions for me.

No, the goal is to let you know how I can help you , give you clear options and see if you and your dog are a fit for my program.

Correct — all of my training is done through praise.
I don’t want your dog to only listen when you have food in your hand. Instead, I actually teach your dog each command so they fully understand what’s expected. Once they do it correctly, I reward them with praise — saying “good boy” or “good girl” and petting the dog.
This creates a dog that listens because they’ve been taught, not because they’re being bribed.
Most dogs trained with food will only respond when the food is present. My goal is the opposite — I want your dog to respond reliably all the time without needing treats.
By the time I’m done training your dog, treats are no longer needed for obedience.
I use praise, clear rules, and structure so your dog understands how to behave in real-life situations. Then I show you exactly how to do the same at home so the results continue long-term.

Yes, if possible. It really helps when all decision makers are on the call together so everyone can hear the same information, ask their own questions, and feel good about the plan. That way you’re not trying to repeat or “sell” what I said later, and we can make the best decision for your dog as a team.
