Private dog training for a better life with your best friend.
Personalized training for puppies, adolescent dogs, and family companions in Washington, DC.
Affinity Canine Coaching helps you and your dog build foundational obedience skills, navigate common canine challenges, and improve everyday manners through tailored one-on-one training.
Training should fit the dog in front of you.
Every dog has a different combination of needs, goals, and experiences.
Affinity Canine Coaching considers your dog’s behavior, daily routines, environment, and more to create a plan that meets your goals.
When you work with me, you'll receive clear, practical guidance that you can use every day to help your dog be the best he can be.
Support may include:
- Puppy foundations and new-dog transitions
- Housetraining, crate training, biting, and chewing
- Everyday manners and calm behavior
- Leash skills and attention around distractions
- Canine communication and body language
- Canine Good Citizen preparation
When your dog needs something beyond individual training, like a group class, veterinary consultation, or behaviorist, I will be happy to provide an appropriate recommendation.
