Hi Pet Pals:
I am a CPDT-KA certified trainer with a background in applied behavior analysis and animal care. I have taught dogs in both group and private settings and am excited to help make your relationship with your dog the best it can be. I am passionate about animals and love getting to know my pups and their parents in order to find what will work best for them. My personal pup is a shy but energetic black lab who loves snacks and swimming. She has taught me a lot about listening to the individual dog's needs and not assuming things based on breed or previous pets.
Thank you for giving me the chance to improve you and your pups lives!

TESTIMONIALS
Erin is a fantastic dog trainer. We first took our puppy to Erin when he was just 10 weeks old for a beginning puppy training class, and we couldn't have made a better choice. Erin's positive reinforcement approach has been remarkably effective in teaching our dog all essential commands, from sit to stay, and in shaping his cheerful,
loving, and obedient temperament. Under Erin's guidance, our puppy has blossomed into a wonderful addition to our family. Now at 10.5 months old, he responds eagerly to commands and behaves both at home and in public settings. Erin's patience, expertise, and genuine love for dogs have undoubtedly played a significant role in shaping our dog's behavior, and we are hugely thankful for the positive impact she has had on our furry companion's life.
We highly recommend Erin to anyone looking for a dedicated and skilled dog trainer!

We had the pleasure of working with Erin to begin teaching Daisy (and Me!) on beginner Puppy Training. Erin is an outstanding Trainer and helped us so much! I plan to do more Sessions with her soon! I can highly recommend her!! You can’t go wrong with her expert advice and training!!

My labradoodle Breck and I did 12 weeks of training with Erin, and she is absolutely amazing! My pup adores her, and she just has such a special way with the dogs. One really important thing is she makes sure to work not only with the dog but with the human as well! We were so sad when our 12 weeks were over but still make sure to take special trips to visit our now, friend Erin :)

Erin trained my youngest pup, Sloan Robbie. Sloan is my first puppy after 6 years and she is a handful to say the least. She’s very high
energy. She was in a class with one other high energy pup. Erin did a great job refocusing our pups- she was extremely patient. She is well-versed and knowledgeable on dog behavior and psychology. Sloan definitely improved by being in Erin’s class. I appreciate all that Erin did for Sloan in six weeks.

I recently had my pups do positive training with Erin. I learned a lot about my pups and diverting their attention to me to be able to train them properly. I had a pup in the fundamentals class and another in the advanced class and both of them progressed wonderfully. The dogs loved her and were excited to come to class. Overall, they’re more obedient and have learned new commands, mostly about being a good doggy citizen and waiting for my instructions before they do anything. Erin kindly would answer all of my questions and was very knowledgeable about dog behavior, especially for my two dog breeds (lab and Great Dane). I think she’d be a wonderful instructor anywhere she decides to continue her teaching. I would recommend Erin for dog training.

Erin is such an amazing trainer, and I was very lucky to find her! She’s patient, incredibly knowledgeable and my pup absolutely adored her. I really appreciated Erin’s compassionate dog training with positive reinforcement, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about her!

We had the pleasure of working with Erin to leash train our puppy, Debbie and we couldn't be happier with the results. Our puppy used to refuse to walk on a leash, making every outing a struggle. Erin's expertise and gentle approach made all the difference. She not only taught our puppy to walk on a leash but also built a wonderful bond with her. It was so cute and wholesome to see how much Debbie loved Erin! She absolutely adored Erin and responded to her training techniques with enthusiasm and joy. We didn't ever think it was possible to enjoy walks with our puppy, but Erin made it happen. In addition to leash training, Erin taught our puppy a variety of commands, including 'drop it' and 'leave it'—commands we thought would be impossible to master with our little dachshund. I also appreciated how Erin would spend time chatting with us answering any and all questions under the sun about Debbie. I felt confident in the techniques Erin taught us, and I know we owe so much of our dog being such a good girl to the time we spent with her! She definitely goes above and beyond. Highly, highly recommended!

My pup, Leo, and I worked with Erin in his first year. She is incredibly patient, understanding and supportive. Leo loved going to training with her and responded well to her calm, loving and joyful demeanor. Erin is a pleasure to work with, I highly recommend her, and your dog will no doubt love her!

Working with Erin was a game changer! She worked with us to develop a consistent way to train our pup and how to practice with our dog when we weren't at our classes. When we brought in our 6-month-old golden retriever, going on walks was a huge struggle. After working with Erin, she's become a strong loose leash walker, and we can even take her on hikes off leash because her recall is so good. I would recommend Erin to any new dog owner!

Erin did an excellent job training us, the dog and parent. We have had two of our pups in her class. She is excellent, my dogs just love her.
We recommend Erin in all her training. She is great.
