Rhiannon Smith

Hi there! I'm Rhiannon, a dog trainer specializing in positive reinforcement and food-based training methods. With two years of experience under my belt, I offer three levels of training options: Puppy/Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced.

In the Puppy/Beginner level, we'll cover the basics such as potty training, crate training, redirection, jumping, nipping, play biting, and separation anxiety. Your pup will also learn essential obedience commands including look/focus, touch, sit, down, loose leash walking, recall, leave it, drop it, wait, shake, rollover, and holding commands.

Moving on to Intermediate level, we'll focus on enhancing the commands learned previously by adding in distractions, distance, and duration. We'll also teach new commands such as Heel, place, holding place, stay, wait by the door, and greetings by the door. To top it off, we'll work on socializing your pup with other people and pups.

Advanced level training will help prepare your pup for the American Kennel Club’s Canine Good Citizens test (CGC), proving that your dog is well-behaved and trained.

At every level, we use positive reinforcement and food-based training and will never use any corrective tools such as prong collars, pinch collars, or E-collars. Instead, we use treats to encourage good behavior and redirect bad behavior.

I believe every dog deserves the same training opportunities regardless of breed, size, or age, and each level takes approximately three weeks to complete (though some may require more time). Level pricing is set at $300 each, with extra one-hour sessions costing $60 each.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am excited to help you train your adorable pup!
