Description:

My approach is based on the 'train the trainer' method, which empowers you with effective tools to continue working with your dog in the long run. In tackling any behavioral issues, I believe in immersing your dog in the problematic environment. For example, if your dog displays aggression towards other dogs, we will meet in a location with many dogs. I don't think avoiding these situations is beneficial. I have experience working with all breeds, ages, and problems, with a particular focus on dogs dealing with fear, anxiety, and fear aggression. Many of my clients have previously worked with other trainers without success. As a dog lover, I'm passionate about strengthening the bond between humans and their furry friends. Owning a dog should bring joy and fulfillment rather than unnecessary stress.

Our dog Leo had fear aggression towards people, other dogs, cars, and even the TV. However, Beth proved to be an exceptional dog trainer, and after just two training sessions, Leo has shown significant improvement. We are extremely grateful to have found Beth as she has helped Leo be the best version of himself. His excessive barking has also reduced, and we are confident that with Beth's help, he will continue to improve. We highly recommend contacting Beth for any dog training needs.

Beth is a remarkable canine trainer, who deserves a perfect rating of 10 Stars from me. She enabled a drastic improvement in my dog's and my abilities from her very first visit. Her expertise in "training the trainer" and her recommendation of a new lead truly showcases her skills. After only two appointments, I can now leisurely stroll with my 90lb dog without fearing being pulled and relish in the happiness and independence of walking with my best four-legged friend. Additionally, my furry companion has become more serene while preparing for departures and during car rides. I unequivocally recommend Beth!

Our new puppy has presented us with some socializing challenges within our household, particularly with our other dog. However, these challenges were not severe, simply typical puppy behavior. To address the issue, we decided to work with a dog trainer, as we had found success with this strategy in the past. Beth, the trainer we worked with, was fantastic. She first asked us about our concerns and goals for our puppy, Bentley, and then observed him interacting with us and our other dog, SweetB. From this assessment, she developed a training plan that she then taught us how to implement. The techniques that Beth taught us were incredibly effective, providing immediate results. Our overall enjoyment of Bentley has increased dramatically, and we have seen a significant improvement in his interactions with SweetB. What sets Beth apart from other trainers is her loving yet firm approach. She tailors her training to our specific needs and goals, as we hope to eventually get Bentley into a therapy dog program at a children's hospital. Additionally, she focuses on training the owner rather than the dog, which has led to a significant increase in Bentley's confidence and improved interactions with us. We have come to realize that the quality of interaction between a dog and their owner is crucial to the dog's behavior. Beth has a unique ability to bring out the best in both the owner and the dog through her compassionate and articulate methods. We are incredibly grateful for her help and expertise in training Bentley. Thank you, Beth!

My little rescue dog, Louie, has been in excellent hands with Beth. I value her candidness and straightforward approach in identifying the obstacles faced during Louie's training, as well as my role as his owner and trainer. Beth addresses these challenges head-on and provides the essential information and resources needed to continue Louie's training independently, so I can achieve success without her assistance in the long run. Every training session with Beth is something to look forward to, and I would happily suggest her as a competent, no-nonsense dog trainer for anyone in need.

Beth exceeded my expectations! She promptly came over for training in less than a week after my initial contact. Her pricing was very reasonable, and she tailored the training to fit our specific dog's needs. I appreciated that she didn't try to upsell any additional training that was unnecessary. After encountering four different trainers before, I would undoubtedly reach out to Beth for any future training needs.
