We use LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) and balanced dog training based methods. This means, our goal is always centered around showing the dog what we'd like them to do in leu of correcting behavior. With that said, we do believe in "no", boundaries and use a spectrum of safe training tools that are tailored to the dog, their family and their environment. You can check our services to learn a bit more about us!

Most of our clients and their dogs have been to other trainers. In fact, we are often the last hope for owners and their dogs. Unlike other training approaches that only focus on the symptoms (reactivity, leash pulling, aggression etc), we focus on the human-dog relationship at home and work to change the dog’s emotional state– how they view the world. Emotions dictates behavior and when we focus on teaching the owners to communicate fairly, that's when we see happy and well behaved dogs. We are considered dog behaviorist or behavior based dog trainers.

We primarily offer In-home behavior & training which occurs in your home environment. This includes reactive dog training, puppy training, dog group classes and more!

We also offer our flagship In-Home Immersion program, In-home training, virtual training, group classes and socializations, day training with more details found here - https://www.packleaderhelp.com/services

Yes and yes. We work with any behavioral issue including dog reactivity, dog aggression, and any new puppy owner trying to build a solid foundation and relationship.

In-home training happens right in your home on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. It’s designed for obedience work, leash manners, and moderate behavior challenges. You’ll get hands-on coaching as you practice communication and structure with your dog in real-life situations.

The Immersion Program is a more concentrated option that still takes place in your home but over several weeks with a higher level of intensity and support. It’s best for dogs struggling with anxiety, reactivity, or more complex behavior issues that need consistent structure and accountability between sessions.

Every Immersion client receives lifetime follow-up support and free group classes for life, so you always have ongoing guidance as your dog continues to grow and maintain progress.

Many clients see progress after the first session, but long-term change depends on your consistency and follow-through. Behavior modification isn’t a quick fix, it’s a process that builds trust, clarity, and calm leadership.
