How Virtual Training Works
How Can Virtual Training Solve Real-World Problems?
1. You Train in Your Dog's Natural Environment
Behavior happens at home, on your street, and in your yard. By coaching you virtually, I see your dog’s behavior exactly where it occurs, allowing us to create precise, effective solutions for your real life, not just a training facility.
2. You Become the Confident Handler
Virtual training empowers you. I guide you step-by-step, giving you the skills and timing to handle your dog with confidence. This builds a stronger bond and ensures the results last, because your dog is learning to listen directly to you.
3. Less Stress for Reactive or Aggressive Dogs
Some behaviors are actually best trained without a trainer physically present in your home. This is especially true when working with aggressive dogs who need to build a relationship with a specific family member or guest. The fewer people there to trigger them, the easier it becomes to focus on the bond-building and training process.
4. Personalized, Step-by-Step Coaching
Using video, I can assess your dog’s body language and your technique in real-time. You receive the same expert analysis and personalized, step-by-step guidance as you would in an in-person session, all with the convenience of scheduling from home.

Virtual Training FAQ
Expert dog training from anywhere - addressing your questions about our online programs.
How effective is virtual dog training compared to in-person training?
Virtual training is highly effective and often produces faster results than traditional in-person training. Here’s why: your dog learns in their actual environment where the behaviors occur, you become the confident handler (rather than watching someone else work with your dog), and we can address real-world situations as they happen. Studies show that owner-led training with expert guidance creates stronger, more lasting results because your dog learns to listen directly to you, not just a trainer.Absolutely! The saying ‘you can’t teach an old dog new tricks’ is a myth. Dogs of all ages can learn new behaviors, including working on reactivity or aggression. In fact, older dogs often have better focus and are less easily distracted than puppies.
Can virtual training sessions be shorter than traditional in-person sessions?
Absolutely! This is actually one of the biggest advantages of virtual training. Many training activities are most effective when done in short, focused sessions, and virtual training allows us the flexibility to customize session length based on what’s best for your individual dog. If I feel your dog would benefit more from 30-minute sessions instead of full hour sessions, we can easily split the training time and meet more frequently throughout the program.
This approach often leads to better retention and less mental fatigue for your dog, while giving you more opportunities to practice and ask questions. Because there’s no travel time involved, we can schedule these shorter, more frequent sessions without the logistical challenges that would make this impossible with in-person training. Many of our clients all over the world have found that these customized session lengths actually accelerate their dog’s progress.
Can virtual training help with aggressive or reactive dogs?
Absolutely! Virtual training is actually ideal for reactive and aggressive dogs because we work with them in their natural environment where these behaviors typically occur. We can observe your dog’s body language and triggers in real-time, guide you through safe management techniques, and teach you how to implement behavior modification protocols. Many of our most successful cases have been reactive dogs trained virtually, because the training happens exactly where the problems exist.
How do virtual training sessions work?
Virtual sessions are live, one-on-one video calls where I guide you step-by-step through training exercises with your dog. I can see your dog’s behavior and your technique in real-time, providing immediate feedback and adjustments. We start each session by discussing your progress and goals, then work through specific exercises together. I demonstrate techniques, watch you practice, and provide coaching until you’re confident. Sessions are recorded so you can review them later.
