Service Dog Tutor specializes in private training for clients’ dogs, focusing on service work and therapy dog work using reward-based training and games. Although the trainer retired from general dog training in May 2021, she now works exclusively with advanced service dog students, providing public access training, testing, and consultations for new dog owners. Her clients often use their dogs for assistance with mobility issues, chronic diseases, and pain, and she helps them train their dogs to perform tasks that improve their daily lives and independence.
The trainer’s approach is patient, thoughtful, and methodical, prioritizing the physical and mental well-being of the dogs. She offers both in-person and online classes, with tailored sessions that help clients reach their training goals. Clients have praised her extensive experience working with people with various disabilities and her ability to structure clear, effective lessons through in-person park visits and remote Zoom sessions. Even those who initially doubted remote training found her techniques successful and engaging.
In addition to service dog training, she provides consultations for clients seeking the right dog for service work or as a family pet. She does not board dogs for training or provide dogs for service work but offers expert guidance to help clients train their own dogs effectively. Her dedication and expertise make her a trusted resource for individuals seeking to train their dogs for service, therapy, or companionship.
