What’s Included

Core Values

At On Purpose Dog Training, we are committed to ethical training that fosters strong, rewarding relationships between dogs and their owners while ensuring that dog ownership is a joyful and stress-free experience. As a certified dog trainer specializing in training and dog behavior, I use positive reinforcement methods that build trust, confidence, and clear communication—never fear or force. The goal is to educate and empower dog owners, giving them the tools to create a well-balanced, well-mannered companion while strengthening the bond they share. I prioritize patience, consistency, and purposeful training to set both dogs and their owners up for long-term success. Whether helping new puppy owners, first-time dog owners, or those facing behavioral challenges, my mission is to create happier homes and happier dogs—on purpose.
