ABOUT KARIN

Are you feeling overwhelmed or defeated by your dog's fear-related

behaviour challenges? Are you thinking of transitioning away from  

punishment-based training methods to a modern rewards-based

approach? My name is Karin, I’m a Certified dog trainer with 13 years

experience  coaching and guiding people and their dogs through

behaviour change.

 

An Innovative Problem Solver

 

As a child I was drawn to puzzles and problem-                      solving

acquiring skills that have translated into                                     developing

built around your challenges, your lifestyle                                 and your

training goals.   With an out-of-the-box                                      thinking approach I offer solutions that are proven effective, practical and easy for you                              and your dog to learn and apply.

Information That Is Current and Clear

 

If you’re like most people you have no doubt spent time searching for training information online. Navigating this overwhelming sea of conflicting advice can be confusing and frustrating. I'm here to remove the noise and  provide clear, practical guidance.  With my help, you'll gain the confidence to make informed decisions that lead to positive behavioral changes in your dog.

 

Support When You Need It

 

Behavioral change takes time and patience.  I provide free, phone, text, email, and Zoom support between sessions so you can rest assured you have the assistance you need when you need it.

 

Elevating Customer Care

 

I understand that customer care goes beyond service.  Drawing from my 20 years of experience in the retail industry and my keen attention to detail I prioritize your training experience, providing the utmost care and attention to the journey you and your dog are embarking on.
