Hi! I'm Tricia Casper and I have been training dogs since 2006.
I offer three options for training:
-
In-home
-
Online
-
Phone consultation
​
In-home training sessions are 60 minutes and take place in your home or at a location where we can add more distraction.
​
30-minute online sessions take place via Zoom or FaceTime.
​
Phone consultations are typically 30 minutes long and give dog owners an opportunity to verbally process any dog behavior issues.
About Tricia
My animal career began in 1999 and includes zookeeping, dog daycare, animal safety on film/TV sets, dog walking, pet sitting, shelter work, dog training, dog behavior modification, and dog media. I have been training dogs since 2006 and have had the pleasure of working with many types of dogs and dog breeds.
I enjoy the challenge that comes from working with dogs, especially those that require behavior modification. Thanks to my own leash reactive dog, I developed a training class in 2010 for other "reactive rovers" that has proven to be very popular and necessary. Because of the amount of people and dogs who have been helped through this program, it has become one of my favorites.

Training Methods
My training methods include positive reinforcement, using whatever motivates your dog, coupled with negative reward markers that let your dog know when he/she has not done the behavior correctly.
​
Training begins at your home where your dog will benefit the most. Some issues can be resolved in one session, and some may take several meetings over time. Your dog's training program will depend on many factors including your dog's temperament, personality, working drive, the behavioral issues you want to resolve, and what you would like to achieve through training. All of these things will be discussed during our first meeting.
My goal is to teach you why your dog is doing the things he does so that you can better understand and communicate with him, using training to strengthen the relationship between the two of you!
