Providing a solid foundation as you begin the journey to a better life with your dog.
From basic manners to working through more challenging behavioural concerns, I strive to offer programming tailored to each dog as an individual, with your goals in the forefront. My in-home setup provides a calm, comfortable, and low-stress space with a very small capacity, allowing me to give each dog the focused, one-on-one attention they need to thrive.
Why Rocky Mountain Hounds?
In-Home Training
My programs are run right out of my home, not a big facility. Dogs live alongside my daily life routines, learning how to exist calmly and respectfully in a realistic setting that transfers well back home.
Limited Capacity
I only take a handful of dogs at a time so each one gets quality training that never feels rushed. It also helps me to maintain a calm, low-stress environment conducive to learning.
Real-World Exposure
Training goes far beyond the backyard. Dogs join me on walks through neighbourhoods, local parks, and busier environments to ensure they can stay calm, confident, and responsive in different environments.

Programs
I start with an in-home assessment to meet your dog in their home environment, talk through your goals, and get a clear picture of where things are at. From there, we’ll choose the right program together. The assessment is $75 + tax, which is credited toward your training program should we move forward.
Owner Support
The most important aspect when it comes to long term success is YOU!
Through multiple one-on-one sessions, you will learn how to effectively communicate with your dog in various situations and environments and how to utilize their new skills in real life!
I’m here for you! Every program includes post-training support, including Owner Coaching Calls and written guides/homework to help ensure that you feel confident to continue your dog’s training back home.
The journey to a bigger life with your dog starts here!
