About this service

Private, personalized dog training focused on creating a calmer, more confident, and reliable dog. Training may include leash manners, obedience, recall, reactivity, neutrality around distractions, confidence building, and better communication between you and your dog. Every session is tailored to your dog’s individual needs and goals. I’m the owner and head trainer of Southern Hounds LLC and have extensive experience working with dogs of different breeds, ages, temperaments, and behavioral challenges. I specialize in balanced training with an emphasis on clear communication, confidence, structure, and real-world reliability. All dogs are evaluated individually so I can recommend the best training approach for you and your dog. I’m comfortable working with everything from basic obedience and puppy manners to reactivity, anxiety, and more challenging behaviors. Training is designed to give you practical skills you can continue using at home.
