You CAN create a happier, safer, and more fulfilling relationship with your Pura Vida Pup!
Because there is no such thing as "one-size-fits-all," my holistic training approach includes evaluation of all aspects of your pet's unique case.
Whether you need global virtual coaching, in-person private coaching, or want to send your dog to live with me for an immersive board & train program, I've got you covered!
My hands-on services are available in Playa Samara, Carillo, and Nosara on the Nicoya Peninsula in Guanacaste.
I begin with a thorough assessment of your dog's L.E.G.S.:
● Learning
● Environment
● Genetics
● Self
Then, I develop a customized training plan especially for you! There's no one right way to raise a puppy, nor a single solution to every problem behavior, so my guidance is personalized for your unique needs.

Goal Setting, Initial Guidance
In the first week, we'll meet to discuss your goals for your dog's training and behavior.

This session also lasts approximately 1-1.5 hours.
