Training Services
Dog sports coaching for every level — from curious beginners to competitive athletes — on the Blue Hill Peninsula of Maine.
I offer hands-on coaching in four disciplines, tailored to you and your dog's goals. Whether you're just getting started or chasing a podium finish, there's a place for you here. In-person sessions are available on the Blue Hill Peninsula, and virtual lessons are available for those outside the area.
Speed, precision, and teamwork on course.
Agility
Agility is one of the most dynamic dog sports around — a timed obstacle course that tests your dog's speed and your handling skills. We work on foundation skills, obstacle performance, and course strategy, building a confident, drivey dog who loves to run.
- Foundation skills for new dogs and handlers
- Obstacle training: jumps, tunnels, weave poles, contacts
- Handling systems and course strategy
- Ring readiness and mental management for dogs and handlers
- Virtual lessons available
Freestyle throws, big catches, and pure joy.
Disc Dog
Disc dog combines athleticism, creativity, and an incredible bond between dog and handler. From learning your first throw to choreographing a freestyle routine, I'll help you and your dog find your rhythm and build a game you both love.
- Throw mechanics and disc selection
- Drive and retrieve foundation
- Toss & fetch distance work
- Freestyle routine development
- Virtual lessons available
Fast, loud, and team-driven relay racing.
Flyball
Flyball is a relay race where dogs sprint over hurdles, trigger a box to release a ball, and race back — as fast as possible. It's high-energy, highly social, and incredibly rewarding. I coach individual dogs and handlers looking to join or build a team.
- Box turn mechanics and ball drive
- Jump training and stride regulation
- Start line and passing skills
- Team racing and competition readiness
- Virtual lessons available
Build a stronger, sounder, more resilient dog.
