Introduction
Let’s chat! 15 minute complementary phone call to answer a few questions about the training process. I have been in your shoes…the person that loves their dog and searches the internet, goes to classes for training with little progress made in training. This is a huge reason I became a trainer was to really understand dogs and be able to help others train themselves to communicate well with their dog. Since becoming a trainer lots of progress has been made with my own dogs and clients dogs. ——- I am a certified positive reinforcement trainer and behavior consultant through DTIA San Francisco. I offer consults to review your dogs behavior, provide a training and management plan. During the consult I will evaluate if the dog needs additional training with me or if the owner can do the training. The consult is 1 hour in length for $195. I work with the client to help them understand their dogs behavior. Train the human to work with their dog to modify behaviors and help improve the dogs emotional state. If needed a I offer a complementary 15 minute phone call to answer a few initial questions the incoming client has about the training process. I offer remote training (Zoom, FaceTime, Skype) if you are outside of my business area.

We had the best experience with Naomi, she took the time to listen to what we were looking for and then gave us good, solid and actionable steps to get our puppy crate trained. She was also able to offer advice and support with other training we were working on. After our initial consultation, Naomi was responsive when we reached out to her and also took the time to regularly check in with us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Naomi to anyone looking for advice/assistance with any dog training, she's simply the best!

Naomi is a gem! Our doggie is challenging and Naomi immediately was able to focus on her issues. She takes a very gentle approach in earning our dog's trust. She is a joy to work with and she puts 150% into her attention to our dog's needs and ours. I highly recommend her to train your dog! You'll be very happy!!

Naomi has been a lifesaver for me! About 5 months ago I adopted a 4 year old mixed breed dog with very little training, strong leash pulling, and dog reactivity issues. I went to 2 other trainers before Naomi who trained using aversive techniques. In each case, it seemed promising at first but I quickly became tired of punishing my dog constantly and also noticed no improvements. Her dog reactivity just seemed to be getting worse. When I started working with Naomi, I learned this is common with aversives because the pain the dog is feeling often exacerbates the reactivity. Naomi helped me learn to read my dog's body language and lower her stress levels in general. Naomi has been extremely supportive and responsive. She has answered all my questions thoroughly and sent me tons of resources on everything from puzzle feeders to keep my high energy dog occupied to training videos to recipes for home made treats. Her rates are much more affordable than the other trainers I went to which I thoroughly appreciate. After working with Naomi for a few weeks, I started noticing some great improvements in my dog's engagement with me and general levels of stress and anxiety. I'm looking forward to implementing more of what I have been learning from Naomi.

Naomi is a fantastic dog trainer. Even though we had to adapt the training to do more remotely than would be ideal under normal circumstances (because of COVID), Naomi made it work by staying in close touch over email and texts. We worked together in person and she really listened to our situation with our dog and helped us understand not just what to do but also the "why" behind the "what". Naomi followed up with frequent check-ins and sent videos to help reinforce what we learned during our in-person session. Her approach was very simple, but she emphasized the importance of consistency and helped trouble-shoot when implementation didn't seem to be working. Overall, I would highly recommend Naomi without any reservations.

Naomi is wonderful, she is extremely knowledgeable and can read dog behavior better than anyone I have ever worked with (at least 10 different dog trainers). She is extremely professional and makes great use of the time you spend together, she is also available for all the support you need as you integrate in the new training. My three dogs were on the verge of fighting, due to our lack of management and training. She changed our lives! We now know many, many different training techniques to keep our dogs mentally stimulated and we know how to create space for them to decompress and relax so when they are together, they are less stressed and much more relaxed. Working with Naomi was an incredible experience, I can’t imagine finding anyone better!!
