It all starts with the will to better your situation. Then the process will look like this:
-
Initial phone consultation
Initial phone consultation to go over your needs, and the applicable fees.

In-home visit

-
Work together
Then we work together to provide you with the best outcome for your situation.
Foundational program
Obedience training.
Do you have a dog that needs help understanding basic commands, listening when spoken to, and executing commands more consistently? This package is for you. I will work closely with you to help your pet better understand proper behavior, follow general commands, and focus on you more intently whether it’s needed in your home, or in more public spaces with distractions present.
Have a puppy that you want to supercharge its listening, and basic obedience so you can begin a life well lived together? this is also the package for you!
- Basic commands, listening, and consistent execution
- Focus on you in your home and in public with distractions
- Puppy listening and obedience foundations
Public manners
Lifestyle training.
Do you have a dog who already gets the basics, but has some things to work on in shared spaces with other people, dogs, or distractions?
Leash pulling, lack of confidence, inability to settle, jumping up on newly introduced people?
If you said yes to any of these or have any other reason why your dog isn’t able to accompany you in public spaces, this is the package for you!
- Leash pulling, confidence, settling, and polite greetings
- Shared spaces with people, dogs, and distractions
- Accompanying you in public spaces
Behavior modification
Behavior Modification
Many dogs have behavioral issues that seem impossible to control. Working through these issues with me to show you the management and skills to overcome these behaviors will show you that there is hope you can have a much less stressful life with your dog.
These issues and the psychology behind them have become my specialty and I promise a life changing impact on each client and dog that trains with BBK9D.
- Aggression - whether its dog, human, or resource guarding, we can manage and change it effectively without putting you or the ones you love in danger.
- Reactivity - one of the trickier issues with dogs. I will assess the root of the reactivity, explain and break down the psychology, and teach you effective management moving forward.
- In-home issues - counter surfing, getting into trash, crate training, fence or window fighting and any other undesired behaviors coming to an end are able to be reversed and helped.

Common questions
Do you really come to my house?
Yes. Sessions take place in your home and in real public spaces that matter to your dog's day-to-day life.
Do I need to be there?
Yes. You're part of every session. The goal is a dog that listens to you, not just to the trainer.
Do you work with reactive dogs?
Yes. If your dog barks, lunges, or falls apart on the leash around other dogs or people, reactive dog training is a core part of what we do. Tell us what your walks look like when you call.
What about aggressive dogs?
Yes, including aggression toward other dogs, toward people, and resource guarding. If there has been a bite, say so when you reach out, so we can start with a safety plan. If the behavior came on suddenly, it is also worth a visit to your vet, since pain can change behavior.
