Puppy Training

Welcome to Drop the Leash Dog Training, where our mission is to provide individuals with the education and tools they need to understand and positively influence their dog's behavior by taking into account the interplay of nature and nurture as well as the unique characteristics of each dog. I believe that captivity and controlled breeding can disrupt the natural balance of a dog's behavior, leading to issues living in our human world. By understanding the underlying causes of your dog's behavior and customizing training and interventions accordingly, I can help you provide personalized support for your companion to thrive.

At Drop the Leash LLC, I specialize in providing training and education for both the human and canine end of the leash. My goal is to give you the skills and knowledge you need to be a confident guide for your family dog. I strive to understand your dog's true nature and how to nurture their behavior effectively. I am dedicated to staying up-to-date with the latest information in behavior analysis, animal behavior, canine ethology, teaching, and learning by regularly attending webinars, conferences, and expos.

My education and experience speak for themselves. With over 30 years of experience in the animal care industry, a wide range of certifications and licenses, and a passion for teaching both dogs and people, I am uniquely qualified to help you and your dog succeed. My dedication to staying up-to-date with the latest research in animal behavior and learning ensures you get the best possible service. As a Canine Behavior Consultant and Family Dog Mediator, I am certified by the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers in behavior consulting and training, CBCC-KA & CPDT-KA. Karen Pryor Academy as a Certified Training Partner, KPA-CTP.
