I am currently doing in home private sessions only.

I have spent my entire life working side by side with all kinds of animals. With almost 20 years of dog training experience and education, I have a deep understanding of canines and the domesticated dog. 

There is a language barrier between humans and canines- but I have written the Rosetta stone for you and your new family member, bridging the gap between the two worlds. You will learn how to communicate with your dog the way a dog understands.

My Silver Method has been honed and perfected from my direct experience, success and ever continuing education.  This exclusive method consists of effective techniques that have worked time and again for all breeds and behavioral issues.  It includes educating you, the owner, on how to recreate pack hierarchy and the proper way to teach your dog the rules, boundaries and limitations of your home.  My method is the least intrusive and minimally aversive way of learning.  Success is accomplished by using respect and power of praise, assuring that both you and your dog genuinely love training.  A well trained dog is a happy dog because they understand what is expected of them and they feel assured that their owner is a competent and dependable leader. 

I A.B.C.D.T certified. I have completed Animal Behavior College and continue my education in this field as it is an ever-evolving science with new discoveries and techniques.  My life’s passion and purpose has always revolved around animals and animal advocacy.  After working in Animal Control and then as an Investigator for Animal Control for the city of  Albany New York , it was clear to me that my purpose was to focus on being proactive through dog training.  Creating Silver Dog Training has allowed me to make a direct impact by not just preventing owner surrenders, but creating the owner-dog dynamic you had imagined.
