In-Home Dog Training

Convenient. Personalized. Lasting Results.

Dog Training for Real Life

With personalized, private in-home dog training, I work directly with you and your dog to reach your goals (whatever those may be!) and create lasting behavior change through positive reinforcement dog training that goes beyond basic obedience training.

because “how it’s always been done” doesn’t cut it

Traditional dog training often focuses on obedience cues like sit, stay, and down. But too often, that approach doesn’t provide lasting results because it doesn’t teach you how to apply those behaviors in real-life situations. That’s where my approach is different. I don’t just train your dog—I teach you how to apply what you’ve learned to everyday life, solving the real problems you’re facing.

This isn’t just about dog obedience—it’s about enjoying your time together, building a positive relationship and experiencing the joy of having a well-behaved companion.

So whether you need help with:

  • A dog who thinks going for a walk means walking you

  • A dog who greets visitors by jumping all over them (or worse, knocking them over!)

  • An adventurous dog who thinks “come” means run

  • An energetic dog who refuses to relax when you need a moment of peace.

  • Or, maybe even all of the above!

This training program will equip both of you with the skills for lasting behavior change, so you can enjoy life with a happy, well-behaved dog!

Enjoy the process, strengthen your bond, celebrate the results.

We loved every minute of our training sessions. They were informative and targeted to the individual needs of our 2 dogs. The time took to explain and practice techniques made it so easy to keep up the training on our own. I highly recommend!!

  • Cori was very helpful in training my newly adopted dog. She gives clear instructions and is very involved in between sessions giving homework and checking in on progress. Being able to train at my house was also a plus since she could see his behaviors and triggers happen as they come naturally in his environment.

    Nate W.

  • Excellent experience! Cori was able to improve my dog’s leash walking skills and had great insight into my dog’s stressors. Highly recommend.

    Thomas D.

  • Cori was super helpful. In four weeks we resolved one big issue and made big progress in another one. The training skills we learned thanks to her will help us improve the quality of life of our sweet fluffy girl. Cori was a great listener and was open to exploring several avenues for solutions. She's very competent and knowledgeable. We're grateful we found her!

    Kassandra S.

  • Cori was wonderful. And I like that she has ME doing the work. She really thinks outside the box to come up with solving a particular problem. I would highly recommend her!

    Kathy L.

  • Cori was awesome! I love her approach to training. I didn’t want my dogs to be robots. I wanted to learn how to better understand them and to help them behave while still allowing them to be their fun bubbly selfs! Cori helped me understand so much about my babies! My babies had fun while doing it! I also love that Cori comes to the house and really gets to see what the issues are and her feedback is always on point!

    Octavia J.

  • Our experiences with Cori has been nothing but positive. Cori is a highly competent trainer whom I recommend without reservation. Her techniques are excellent and to the point which makes them easy to implement. She also goes above and beyond with follow up notes, videos and Zoom sessions.

    Janice T.

  • Cori is awesome! This is the first dog I have ever owned and did not know the first step at all on how to fix some of Millies behavior. She would explain what we were going to do and show how to do it which was really helpful...Highly recommended, super easy to work with, and she gives you a lot of tools to help you and your dog succeed.
