In Tune Dogs

Specialties

In Tune Dogs offers certified in-​home dog training for harmony and relief from dog behavior issues. We specialize in intervention for fear-​based behaviors including extreme shyness, anxieties, and aggression. We also offer manners training for all ages and physical abilities, service dog task training, calming therapies, and pet sitting for challenging dogs and other animals.

In Tune Dogs uses positive reinforcement training and other principles of Applied Behavior Analysis to help dogs learn what we humans define as acceptable behavior. Since communication is a two-​way process, we also teach people about dog behavior. Good communication between you and your dog leads to greater understanding and less stress for both of you. You and your well-​mannered dog will get to experience more of life together. Your less fearful dog will have a better quality of life.

In Tune Dogs strongly believes in positive reinforcement for people, too. We’re here to help, not to criticize! We do our best to work with your individual, real life needs. Your dog is a part of your family and we’re here to help the whole family.

Business Owner

Being the owner and head trainer of In Tune Dogs is an expression of my lifelong passion for understanding dogs and people. I’m a graduate of the intensive Dog Trainer Professional Program at Karen Pryor Academy for Animal Training and Behavior and have a Bachelor of Science in Biology. My love of learning and animals has propelled me through years of continuing education and postgraduate work in behavior, affective neuroscience, and other sciences. I’ve worked in kennels and as an assistant in veterinary clinics so have studied and applied Low Stress Handling techniques. My dog-​specific certifications include Pet First Aid and CPR, AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, and STAR Puppy Evaluator, and training in TTouch and other touch therapies for dogs.
