Seattle Dog Training Coach

Wenatchee Dog Training offers private dog training lessons, including mobile in-home sessions and “fieldtrips” within the Wenatchee Valley. Online dog training is also available via Zoom or Skype for clients anywhere with an internet connection.

Programs address a wide range of issues from basic preventative training for first-time owners to complex behavior problems. Specialties include puppy socialization, house training, leash pulling, barking, jumping, food stealing, and aggression towards other dogs on leash. The trainer uses positive, force-free methods, including clicker training and the NILIF method, tailoring solutions to individual needs.

Wenatchee Dog Training, led by Bette, is a dog training service specializing in unraveling dog behavior puzzles and guiding owners towards their training goals. Bette has over 15 years of experience working with a wide variety of dogs in various home and public environments, known for her creative behavioral problem solving. She tailors solutions perfect for the dog, owner, and specific needs.

She helps both first-time dog owners with basics and seasoned pet parents whose previous training isn’t working. Bette focuses on preventative training but also addresses existing bad habits. She takes on a limited number of students at once, choosing those with whom she feels the strongest connection, believing students learn best from teachers they enjoy.

Bette’s life’s work is teaching people to influence behavior primarily using positive, force-free methods, including clicker training (or verbal markers) and the NILIF (Nothing In Life Is Free) method. She uses food, toys, access to play, and interaction as rewards. Her teaching approach is influenced by her experience teaching English through immersion in Japan.
