The internet puts all the answers right at your fingertips...but it also gives you an un-ending stream of opinions - impossible to tell fact from fiction. Dogspeak is here to help, offering a variety of positive dog training services to meet the individual needs of students, from private lessons to group classes to day-training while you're at work. See below for more details and rates for each type of training, and go to the Dogspeak Policies page for more information about payment and training expectations.

Not only do I want to work with you and your dog in person, but I can also guide you to the best sources of dog training information. Take a look at my list of tried-and-true resources (books, videos, etc) and, if you're about to bring home a new four-legged friend, my recommended new puppy items or new rescue dog items. Or just send me a message!

If you're not sure which training option is best for you, contact me and I'll guide you to the best fit.


Trying to fit a new puppy or rescue into your life? Is your beloved canine companion suddenly showing some concerning behaviors? Or maybe group classes aren’t working for your schedule.

If you need individual support, sign up for private lessons in the comfort of your own home.

Expecting a baby and feeling a little nervous at the prospect of life with your dog and newborn? Are you wishing for a plan to manage your furbaby in the days following your new baby’s arrival, during midnight feedings, diaper changes, family visits, and all the other new experiences coming your way?

If that sounds familiar, then this program is for you!

Are you a company with a dog-friendly office? Customized class structures are available! Contact me for details.

Do you have a new puppy in need of socialization and an introduction into the human world? Or perhaps an adolescent canine who seems to have forgotten their manners? Maybe you have a new rescue pooch with whom you want to get off on the right paw!

If any of that sounds familiar, group classes are for you!
