Because each dog has their own personality and learning style, I accept them for who they are. I also accept that each dog will learn at their own pace. I will help dog guardians meet their goals by recommending which program and training options best fit their personality, schedule, and environment.
At Bone Worx, I don’t train dogs; I train the guardians who love them. I’ve redefined dog training with customized classes, designed to build confidence and success as your dog masters skills in a simple, step-by-step process.
I utilize only positive dog training methods, which your entire family can quickly master and embrace. You will be actively engaged in the training, working as a team as you learn to communicate more effectively with your dog. The behavior will naturally transition to life at home.
All dogs can benefit from learning, regardless of age or experience. Whether your pup is starting with the fundamentals, brushing up on previously learned skills, or ready to take on new challenges, my classes can accommodate your needs.
Group or private classes are available to dogs of any size and breed.
All Ages Are Welcome!
Private training allows me to work one-on-one with you and your dog. Using behavioral science and applied behavior analysis, I can help you understand your dog's unique personality, behaviors, and areas for improvement.

A good recall is an excellent skill for a dog. It allows us to steer our dogs away from dangerous or unwanted interactions, making us feel good when our dogs come when called. Because of the distraction factor, recall is a very fancy skill—it's fun to show off—but it also means it takes more time to train than other skills and behaviors.
My goal for this private class is to teach you the foundational skills to increase your dog's ability to respond to a recall cue and come away from distractions, such as other dogs and food. You might not reach the point where your dog comes every time in this short class, but I want you to embrace it with a solid understanding of how to train a reliable recall and the ability to continue teaching at your own pace.

Prerequisites:
Are you dreading walking your dog?
Walking is one of the most critical components of your relationship with your dog.
Reactive dogs are typically considered dogs who bark, spin, lunge and growl on-leash at other dogs, and in some cases, people, kids, bikes, critters, and a variety of other things.
Reactive dogs may also exhibit signs of stress, such as pulling on the leash, restlessness, difficulty focusing, and tense body language.
ked to fear, excitement, or frustration, making it difficult for the dog to control their emotions and disengage from the triggering situation.
Often these dogs are labeled “aggressive” in society. When in reality, they have a hard time controlling their emotions.
Because reactivity is considered an emotional issue, it requires understanding the underlying causes and implementing appropriate strategies through management and training.
I am selective in the cases that I accept. Please contact me, and we will discuss your dog’s current behavior and your training needs.

There are no bad dogs. Many behavior problems stem from normal, natural, and often necessary dog behaviors being performed in an inappropriate way. You will learn how to reward the behaviors you want while ignoring your dog (when appropriate) and preventing or redirecting the behaviors you don't want.

Puppy Fundamentals
Dogs 9 to 16 weeks
The arrival of a new puppy often brings many training questions. My classes help you establish good routines and habits with your new pup from the start. I will also give you simple tools to address your puppy’s challenges.
Puppies have short attention spans, so a small class setting is the best place to get your puppy to focus. Start training as early as possible. This way, your dog can begin her new life by developing good routines and habits right from the start.
