Services

Puppy training covers confidence-building, early manners and socialization. Adult Dog Basics, for dogs 6 months and up, works on leash skills, polite greetings, impulse control and real-life obedience. Private sessions are customized for reactivity, anxiety or personal coaching, and behavior consultations dig into the "why" behind reactivity, anxiety, aggression or fear to build a compassionate plan. Rebecca's core values are kindness first, education and empowerment, and community, including group walks and educational events.
