In-Home Coaching
Best for puppy owners who want hands-on support in their own home. Stacy coaches you in real time while you train your puppy, then you implement between sessions with continued guidance as needed. This is immersive, personalized help where your real-life challenges are addressed on the spot.

Online Coaching
Perfect for owners outside the local area — or those who simply prefer virtual training. Sessions are held via Zoom with the same structure, strategy, and accountability. You’ll know exactly what to work on and how to implement it.

You should start to train puppy as soon as you get home with puppy! Never too early, never too late ... just do it!

Behavior challenges can be stressful, and possibly dangerous. It's critical to get the appropriate type of treatment, training and care when working behavior cases.

I have many trusted sources locally that I refer behavior cases to. If you are outside of the DFW, Texas area you will likely need to seek a referral close to you. You can visit IAABC.org for a professional.
