ABOUT YOUR NEXT FAVORITE DOG TRAINER
Passionate. Patient. Persistent. Pet-lover. These are just a few of the characteristics that describe me. I know each animal is different, and I’ll work with yours to give them the specific guidance they need. Whether you’re thinking about getting an animal, have a new pet, or already own a pet with behavioral problems, I am here to help.
My style of training is called a balance marker system. I acknowledge the good behaviours and also interrupt the bad behaviours to redirect your dog to what we would like them to do. I use verbal commands and hand signals. I do use treats as a reward system, not a bribe. I use whatever equipment works best for your dog. I like to work with the softest and build my way up, only if need be.

How Did We Do?
Joan K Rebecca came to us at the referral of a friend. I have a stubborn bullmastiff and a crazy girl pit. My pit has never been walked on a leash or socialized. With Rebecca's help she now walks on the leash, knows some commands like stay, sit, leave. I recommend Rebecca to everyone looking for a trainer.Would recommend: Yes
Francine G Rebecca was so much fun to work with. She really taught us how to train our puppy. She was responsive when I first contacted her and really listened to our major concerns. She knows what she’s doing and I highly recommend her.
Joseph M. Our labrador " Duke" would not obey commands, ate sheetrock, defied us on a leash, the list goes on and on. 3 to 4 sessions with Rebecca and a lot of treats, he understood the commands , his behavior /destruction, well she fixed that too...That involved training " US" . I have seen Rebecca work and train Service Dogs as well and I couldn't find a more qualified and knowledgeable trainer than Rebecca. Highly recommended!

HAPPY PET OWNERS
Here’s What They’re Saying
First Name: Donna B
Testimonial: Rebecca is the best trainer I've ever worked with! When I saw the dogs in her training program while working together at a veterinary clinic, I was totally impressed! She helped me take my burly, bull-in-a-china-shop teenaged Bernese, whom I could not figure out (and I'm not a novice to obedience) to the calm, stable dog he is today. He is now a certified Therapy Dog, who still loves all, but doesn't bowl them over with his enthusiasm! Dog number two is now training with her also to be a therapy dog. There is no one else who can, not only understand the dog, but the owner as well! She instructs in a calm, non-judgmental, patient manner, and welcomes all questions and problems. Don't hesitate to contact her- it is so worth it!Anything to add: Rebecca is truly the best!Would recommend: Yes
