At Kona & Co., I use positive reinforcement and force-free methods to create effective behavior change. One of my biggest aims is to set you and your dog up for success! I will teach you and your dog what to do, rather than focusing on what not to do.

While creating effective solutions, I have three goals:

1. Empower you to feel confident while training

2. Grow your bond with your dog

3. Ensure everyone is happy and having fun

My methods focus on a holistic view of your dog and your life. Together we will dissect your dog’s behavior and try to get to the root cause, whether that be underlying pain, anxiety, fear, etc. I use management, enrichment, and behavior modification techniques to put together a complete training package, individualized to your family. No two families (humans & dogs) are alike and I truly take that into consideration during our training process. I hope that by the end of our time together, you feel like you’ve got a full toolbox of skills and the confidence to use them whenever you need!
