  • You’re anxious to invite friends over to your house because of your dog’s behavior

  • You want to take your dog out in public but worry about what others will think if your dog misbehaves

  • You avoid walks during busy times because your dog pulls, barks, or blows up at the end of the leash

  • You want to take your dog on off leash adventures but they don’t have a solid recall

  • You feel frustrated with the training methods you’ve already tried and don’t know what to do next

  • Bring your dog out in public without worrying how they’ll behave

  • Trust your dog to make good decisions on their walk

  • Have your dog listen to your recall the first time

  • Be empowered to bring your dog to a pet friendly coffee shop, winery or camping trip

Training = Freedom for you and your dog

I’m Cheyenne! The owner and trainer of High Peaks Canine!

I currently live in Ithaca, NY and love hiking in the Adirondacks with my 5 hooligans, reading books, and drinking coffee.

I’ve been training pet + service dogs for over 4 years now, and if I’ve learned anything it’s that a dog’s state of mind greatly impacts their behavior.
