Train Your Dog from Anywhere —With a Pro You Can Trust
Live support, real results, all from the comfort of home.
MJ’s Virtual Dog Training: Built for Results. Backed by Experience.
Solving the kinds of challenges that don’t have one-size-fits-all answers. If you’ve tried tips, classes, or even other trainers and something still isn’t clicking — that’s where I come in.
Whether it’s leash reactivity, household manners, or behavior that changes depending on who’s home, I help you:
Break behavior down into its real causes
Gather real insight through short, practical exercises that reveal how your dog learns best.
Spot patterns others miss
Build clarity — in your dog’s responses and your own
This is training that starts with questions, not assumptions and ends in confidence.
Your Homework Drives Real Progress
After each session, you’ll get simple, targeted assignments designed to give us insight into your dog’s behavior. These help answer questions like:
Is your dog understanding the cue?
Does the behavior fall apart in certain environments or times of day?
How is your handling or routine influencing the outcome?
You’ll track short, practical exercises and bring those observations back to our next session. I use that info to make smart adjustments to your training plan, troubleshoot what’s not working, and keep things moving forward.
We don’t guess. We observe, test, and adapt.
Behavior Lab
Target up to 2 problem behaviors or 5–6 skills with expert support.
The Behavior Lab is designed for dogs who need a customized approach.

Each session includes:
Puppy prep and early training topics (crate training, biting, schedules, etc.)
A Q&A segment to ask your specific questions
Expert guidance to help you feel confident and prepared
No commitment — drop in when it works for you!
Held live on Zoom. All are welcome — even if your puppy isn’t home yet!
Why Virtual Training Works
You might be wondering… can virtual dog training really work?
Virtual sessions allow us to observe your dog right in their natural environment without the added distraction of a new person in the room. That means we get an honest look at the behaviors you're seeing every day.
Whether we’re working on barking at the window, anxiety in the home, or behavior that seems to shift depending on the situation, the ability to test and troubleshoot in your real-world setting can be an advantage.
Even if you're local, this format works especially well for:
In-home behavior concerns (barking, pacing, guarding, etc.)
Dogs who get overwhelmed or shut down in new places
Families needing flexible coaching around daily routines
Owners who want a deeper level of insight and feedback
Whether you combine virtual training with in-person classes or choose to work with us entirely online, we’ll guide you every step of the way with clear coaching, thoughtful feedback, and real results.
