At Channeled Canine Coaching, we specialize in reward-based private dog training that’s customized to your dog, your lifestyle, and your goals.

Whether you're starting with a brand-new puppy or addressing serious behavioral concerns, our one-on-one sessions are designed to bring clarity and calm back into your home.
We work with all types of dogs, from young puppies just starting out to adult dogs with challenging behavior.

What Types of Training Do We Offer?
Our services cover a wide range of training needs, including:
Behavior Modification:
We support dogs experiencing more complex behavioral challenges, including:
Reactivity toward other dogs, people, or moving triggers like bikes or skateboards
Aggression and resource guarding
Barking or lunging at the window, fence, or the TV
Separation anxiety or general anxiety
Impulse control issues and overstimulation in public spaces
Counter Surfing, jumping, stealing inappropriate items
We create safe, structured plans to help your dog overcome these challenges with confidence.
Obedience Training:
If your dog needs more structure or a refresher on everyday manners, we can help with:
Sit, Down, Stay, Come When Called, Leave it, Drop It, Place, Touch, etc
Door manners and polite greetings
Waiting calmly when guests arrive
Handling distractions in stimulating environments
We believe obedience should be functional and enjoyable for both you and your dog.
Puppy Training and Socialization:
Raising a puppy is exciting but can be overwhelming without the right guidance. Our puppy training programs include:
Housebreaking and crate training
Nipping and chewing
Socialization with people, surfaces, and sounds
Early leash and recall work
Preventing future behavior problems by building good habits from the start
We also offer puppy prep consultations to help families get ready before the new puppy arrives.
Fun and Enrichment-Based Training:
Already have a well-behaved pup? We offer advanced and enrichment-based training including:
Trick training
Therapy dog preparation
Brewery and patio dog etiquette
Engagement games to deepen your bond
Structured decompression activities for high-energy dogs
We believe training can and should be fun, even when your dog is already doing well.
Service Dog Support:
We also provide early foundation training and support for those interested in raising their own service dog candidates. We do not currently place finished service dogs, but we can help lay the groundwork with public access manners, task foundations, and advanced obedience that may later be transferred to a program or trainer who specializes in task-specific work.
Our Training Philosophy: Clarity, Compassion, and Real-World Results
At Channeled Canine Coaching, we believe in positive reinforcement-based training that teaches your dog what to do, not just what not to do. Our focus is on communication and clarity, helping your dog understand your expectations in a way that builds trust and lasting results.
We do not rely on outdated, punishment-heavy techniques or quick fixes that suppress behavior without addressing the root cause. Instead, we work to uncover why your dog is struggling and create a customized plan that honors both your dog’s emotional needs and your training goals.
Our approach is rooted in:
Education over correction: Your dog cannot follow rules they’ve never been taught. We prioritize showing them what to do first before ever introducing consequences.
Real-life application: We don’t train in a vacuum. We work with you in the environments that matter, whether that’s your home, a neighborhood walk, or a busy outdoor setting, so your dog learns to succeed where it counts.
Empowering owners: You are your dog’s greatest advocate and most consistent teacher. We give you the tools to feel confident, clear, and calm no matter what behavior arises.
Adaptability: Every dog is different, and we tailor each session to your dog’s unique temperament, past experiences, and learning style.
Whether you're a first-time dog owner or an experienced handler looking to fine-tune your dog’s skills, we meet you exactly where you are and help you move forward together.
